what? 6 years. That is just getting warmed up. Mine tend to evolve until you can no longer get a mother board that will fit. One of the reasons I do that is because the old cases/power-suppies/etc seem to be better built than the throw away stuff nowadays. However I do see in my latest catalogs that a new motherboard profile is just coming in (no, I have not researched this yet), so I would check that your new computer uses that, or wait a few months and get one that does. No use buying something that is not going to be upgradeable in the near future.
