If you buy a BTX case you can't fit any normal motherboard; only crippled BTX mobos. Same with PSUs too. This in turn limits your choice of CPU severely, as well as your capacity to add graphics cards etc. due to heat and power limitations of the chassis and its compatible PSUs

Yup, far too many issues. They're not great and you'd need a compatible mobo and PSU too anyway
