> Or is the LPX desktop just the crab of personal computer design, and all lineages will converge here eventually. I have no idea. It's simply a good design for the time. Motherboards needed a bunch of stuff, none of it very tall, expansion busses were busses, so you can put one slot in the middle for a daughter board with slots fot expansion cards. Drives go on the right hand side by tradition, which makes expansion ports on the left. Depending on how many slots you want, you can make the case taller or shorter.
