Hmmm, but are there back panels to convert a ATX case back to AT? > Why nobody (that I've seen yet) is making a power supply that has both > connectors on it, and just doesn't use the 3.3 volt part for anything when > you use a normal motherboard...

Now does anyone know if there are ATX motherboards from ASUS or SuperMicro that is ATX footprint and not AT?
