WCing is very dependent on what happens in the industry.

The workstation/ midtower will be around for powerusers, gamers, graphic artist etc but basic users will be using stuff in SFF, mini atx, laptops, and zero footprint computers that fit onto the LCD or into the keyboard.

I think the industry has been lax since mobo's can be shrunken and chipset, gpu, cpu intergrated into a single chip. Think about the size of old PCI slots and new PCIX slots but i can't find anything for PCI-X except for a NIC? What about hard drive performance? Been the same for the last 5 years.
