Default The end of the road for the DIY PC?

The motherboard industry could cook up a flexible solution
all on their own.


.... but MB manufacturers usually work from reference hardware put out by
Intel/AMD/etc. Would they be willing to produce items not covered in the
reference?

What does BGA really mean, one buys the MB/CPU as one item? Or does the
whole DIY concept die and the Newegg 'Computer Hardware' section disappear?
