Putting an ATX Mobo in an AT Case?

[dcsonic2k]

Hey all,

I just bought a new ATX motherboard to build a new system with, but unfortunately, the only case I have laying around is an AT case. Would it be possible to install the ATX motherboard into that ATX case? Could I just not use all the holes? Could I drill new ones? Or would the entire motherboard just not align?

If this is the case, do any of you know where I can buy a real cheap ATX case minus the power supply (I already have an ATX PS)?

Thanks alot!

In that case, where can I buy a cheap case without a power supply?

Thanks!

Maybe somewhere between $20-$25.

I have a brand new ATX style case without power supply that I will sell to you for $20. Has 3 5-1/4" bays and 3 3.5" bays(2 external). If you would like I can send you some pictures of the case. E-mail me at stang46@tamu.edu if you would like some more info...

$18.75 and comes with 250W Power Supply
You can't use AT power supply with newer ATX mobos.(some older
models came with both AT and ATX type of connections.)

My bad, I didn't read the part about your Power Supply, but this is still
a good buy.

Yeah, it's a great buy, gershel. I think that's what I'll get. The power supply it comes with is probably junk, so I'll just throw it away.

Thanks alot to all who replied!
