Hi people, will a new version of the 3700BQE with front firewire and audio ports be coming out any time soon?

First of all...

WELCOME TO SPCR

Reguarding the BQE, I'm not sure at all, maybe E-Mail Antec, most companies that I've dealt with have always given me responses within a few days...

None planned that I know of.

But then PD's surprised me a couple times before.

i personally think firewire is useless for 99.999999999999999999% of people and also having the audio jacks in the front seem useless as well since your speaker wires look better plugged into the back of the tower and any headphone jack is already availble on any optical drive or on the speakers.

but if you are in that 0.000000000000000000000001% that prefer this then so be it.

just wanted to give my opinion.

ps: that was one reason why i didnt like the Sonata cuz if i got it i would just have dummy firewire and audio jacks on the front that would never be used.

RLiu818- I hardly think that Firewire port are not used by hardly anyone. For one thing, there are many, many, many, regular PC users who have minDV or Digital8 camcorders that use Firewire and would benefit from a front port. Not to mention Firewire external storage devices, which would probably be the second highest usage. Also, Creative makes a Firewire MP3 player (I had one) and I think the iPod has a Firewire interface.

I would probably put the number of overall PC users that use Firewire on their PCs at somewhere between 5-10%. Just because YOU don't use it (or your friends don't), doesn't mean that there aren't many others that do. Your opinion is pretty uninformed on this issue...
