Putting an ATX MotherBoard in an AT Case/PSU

The Power Supply went out on my 350 MMX P2 which is in an ATX Case
(Power supply has one large plug to MotherBoard - hence ATX Case and
Power Supply).

I have an AT Case with an AT Power Supply (two smaller plugs) that I
painted up with Flames on it (yes, I'm a Computer Dork whom builds
Cars).

I would like to mount my ATX Motherboard inside my AT Case using my AT
Power supply.

- Rear access holes?
- Power supply plug adapters (2 smalll to 1 large)?
- ATX vs AT Watts/Volt problems?
- Something about a switch being moved?

Any sugguestions ??

Maybe buy a used/cheap ATX Powersupply and use the AT Case ??

Thanks
 
A friend of mine rang me a couple of weeks ago asking if I had a spare ATX
power supply and motherboard he could have, he had connected an AT power
supply to an ATX motherboard and it started smoking.

Maybe this would go well with the flames?

Don't. Among other reasons, your AT PSU does NOT provide +3.3V, +5vsb,
or PS_ON, all of which are required by the ATX MB. Simply get a new
ATX PSU.
 
lol,wish i'd been there.
