DIY-APE has just revealed a next-gen concept for back-connect PCs, using the new BTF 3.0 spec. A single 50-pin connector powers most of the PC, with front panel I/O being simplified into one connector as well. BTF 3.0 is backward compatible with prior BTF standards and even compatible with non-BTF components with the help of adapters.
