"The ATX standard allows power supplies and cases to be commodity parts, dramatically reducing the cost of computer design. Lessons learned from the success of this standard show why standardizing parts is important. The BTX standard builds on this, and the blade.org standards work should do likewise."

yes the 399$ bargain basement comps are disposable and basically non upgradeable. also anything from say dell is as hardware locked in as buying anything from apple. but if you know a thing or 2 about comps know better then too do that to yurself. invest in good components and contrary to popular belief you can run them a lot longer then 6 months b4 they are outdated, and even then they are upgradeable easily or overclockable at the very least.
also please tell me why you are in a situation where u NEED to turn the power to yur computer off forcefully so often?? that worrys me a little.
yes volume matters, but at some point small things become more expensive to produce then full size counterparts. so volume is only half the story.
