MB question

[Bozo]

Will a Baby AT motherboard fit in a Micro ATX case?
I have a ASUS P5A-B Baby AT board that I would like to install in a 2U case and use as a router.

Thanks,

I'm reasonably sure it won't fit. Even if it did, you would still have to replace the ATX power supply with an AT PS and those are different sized too.

Physically, it WILL fit.
But you'll have to mod your case, since 3/4 of the screw holes will be in the wrong place.

Some cases have multiple screw fittings and you can just use the appropriate ones. Also, thre main board you have, if I remember correctly, has an ATX PSU connector as well as Baby AT, so you are a chance.

I haven't seen a case like that since the end of the last century.

Some new cases still do that Merc. It costs nothing, so why not? But in a 2U? Unlikely. Might be Dremel time for you, Bozo.

All the 4U cases I have include both ATX and AT motherboard mounting holes (and these are cases purchased within the last year), along with a variety of marked holes for boards I can't identify. I guess they are for various types of passive backplanes. Dunno for sure.

If it's a real server-class 2U case, I'd be surprised if it didn't have holes for both ATX and AT. But then I'm easily surprised these days.

Tannin, you're right. This MB has both styles of power connectors.
And, it wouldn't be the first time I've fired up the dremel tool to make something fit
