Semi - re: "How many ads have you seen in newspapers and magazines that feature the processor temperatures as a selling point? "
That's really an irrelevant question, the end user is not the interested party regarding that factor - the OEM is the one who wants to know(excepting, of course, enthusiasts, who are already looking to pick up Northwoods before they sell out). I suspect that's part of your point, though. ;)

Re: OEMs not building Prescott boxes. It's a touch early for them to say that, after all, it was just launched yesterday; but they'd likely just change their case/cooling situation and charge a little more.

Semi,

Have you seen any Prescott box builders announce they won't be putting out Prescott boxes due to heat issues?

No, but -- You might want to consider that its been announced that ATX cases can't handle the heat, so BTX cases have been invented to fill the breach.
