You can use either an AT or ATX PSU, the motherboard supports both. When using an ATX psu you'll have to hook up a power buttom to the front panel header. Some motherboards have a jumper for selecting AT/ATX power, not sure this one has tho. You can mount the board in either an AT case or full-ATX …
