    Well the cpu was also at the front of the board, and got fresh air from the intake at the front
     
    There normally wasn't any exaust fans, just the main intake at the front.
     
    The layout was backwards, so a dual slot card will stick up and normally not fit in a 16 at the top.
     
     
    I think the big killer was core 2 chips. BTX was made to deal with hot p4 and pentium d chips, and with core 2 that wasn't an issue anymore.
