I would assume that you can buy the case in either format and purchase the other back panel if and when it is necessary. I have seen other cases from several manufacturers that are convertable (I just don't like the design well enough compared to the really nifty ones we use now) between ATX and AT by a power supply swap and come with both back panels. > Now that is a good idea, the thing with ATX power supplies is that > it has a power switch on the power supply while ATX motherboards have the > front power switch connected to the motherboard. Now does anyone know if > there are ATX motherboards from ASUS or SuperMicro that is ATX footprint > and not AT? Ok... Lets take these big server cases, for example. I've got two of them here on my bench running WWW, FTP, MAIL services, etc.... They have power switches on the front panel along with the turbo/reset switch... The label on the power supply lists the specs for both models and just has a little dot highlighting which model this one is. ATX/non ATX, and they both have power switches wired to them. So, I figure, you just leave the motherboard switch on, and use the one on the power supply. I wish I had a picture online so I could show how they are arranged... Hmm... Gotta find me a scanner. My old Logitech ScanMan Plus doesn't cut it anymore. :) Later...... <Doug>
