You need to have an ATX motherboard.
It supports the new power managment interface that the power supply is looking for.

More of a ? to ashkicka007 than the original thread: I'm trying to find a case that will support both a baby AT and an ATX board. Any idears?

to my knowledge there is no such thing.
They are two seperate formats for cases.
ie. ATX cases are about 2 inches wider than AT cases. Actually, now that i think about it. The main problem, besides the build of the case is the power supply.
Correction, there is NO SUCH CASE!!!

If I was motivated, I would design one. How hard can it be to have a case big enuff for the atx, have mounting holes for both, and an interchangeable or transformable power supply?

While I'm at it, I want to be able to open the case and replace anything without having to dissect the whole thing.
