Title: AT case for new ATX Motherboard?
Post by: GSGS on February 09, 2005, 06:14:24 PM

I'm shopping for a new PC and I'd like to use my old AT desktop case (true desktop, not a tower) to build my new machine.  I know I'll need a higher-wattage power supply.  Can I modify the AT case to use with an ATX Motherboard?  

I'd buy a new true desktop (not Tower) case if I could find one.  No one seems to make them anymore.  Any suggestions?

Thx, GS

 GSGS....I'm curious , why would you want to do that .....seems like you want to go backwards.......There is a reason that atx cases appeared .........the older at cases wouldnt hold the necessary items .........
