Ive been reading a lot about the new Motherboard standard BTX. It is a completly different size and has different screw locations. Im planning out a mod right now, is is too early to make this mod BTX sized rather than ATX?

Even though I see a lot of good things with the BTX style (Air Flow being one). Intel has slowed the push for this standard, and there are only a very few motherboards out right that that support the BTX standard.

You would be better off right now to stay with the ATX standard and maybe make the MOBO Try support both if your wanting BTX.

I would also guess that you'll still be seeing the high end parts avalible for atx untill btx becomes widely adaped. just my 2 cents.
