Aaron Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 Right, I've got my old 166 pentium box out and decided to run an internet routing distro called IPCop on it. It's a very big heavy desktop case, (due to the crappy inbuilt speakers) but the motherboard inside is smaller than the ATX motherboards I've seen today, its an AOpen AP5T Baby AT Mobo, so I'm wondering if there's any small cases (or Shuttle-style cases) that will support the Baby AT mobo, along with a NIC, 2GB HDD and a CDROM. I won't need a floppy drive since the mobo supports booting from the CD.
FthrJACK Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 you tried some of the hardware links and stuff at www.miniitx.com ?i know its not ITX but theres alsorts there. Failing that, why not just buy an empty rack mount case or something from www.maplin.co.uk and shove it in that?
ThA_FiLeR Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 why not make one urself outa plexiglass, checkout the case section at www.hardforum.com they have allot of tips on how to DIY.. for me it would have bin easy since I have acces to a engraver which cuts glass,plexi and wood..
Aaron Posted October 13, 2003 Author Posted October 13, 2003 I'm not one for DIY, plus I'm a bit of a lazy bum
canny Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Tried going around computer fairs, there might sell old AT cases. You might find one you like!www.computerfairs.co.uk
Aaron Posted October 17, 2003 Author Posted October 17, 2003 Case?I got dat from www.Computer-shop.co.ukThat's well nice, but the question is, what motherboard does it support? (Baby AT, Micro ATX?)
Carmon Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 That's well nice, but the question is, what motherboard does it support? (Baby AT, Micro ATX?)Well i live not far away from them so ill nip down and question them 4 ya
