You could go the ATX2AT route, using a compatible ATX case, PSU with adapter and a backplate with just the 1 hole in it.

I've found AT cases to be near extinct in the wild here in The Netherlands. They do appear from time to time, but more often there's not a single one available. Even flea markets I never see them anymore.

Iirc theres some AT cases available on Ebay, but it won't be cheap.

Early ATX cases often had the AT mounting standoffs.

Frankly, I'm glad I kept most AT cases I found dumped on the side of the road 8-ish years ago, even though a couple of them are pretty ugly and/or yellow

Crushed into cubes and melted down for scrap I'd imagine.

They are pretty hard to find in good condition these days. I've been lucky and found a few discarded on the side of the road but they are usually Socket 7's so very late for the AT era. The cool looking early 90's/late 80's cases are very hard to come by.

Finding one of those earlier cases with the led thingy in the front...oh that would be awesome!!

A speed display? Yeah, that would be sweet 😀

Not sure if you have a second hand digital marketplace where people sell their stuff second hand, but best bet is to keep lurking those.

AT style cases are very hard to find and cost as much as or more than ATX cases. You may even have to resort to buying a whole computer just to get the case but that can be even more expensive. There is no cheap replacement for an AT style case out there anymore. Most of the older machines that used them were sold for scrap and recycled long ago and there's enough people in the vintage computing hobby now that it drives prices up. The days of getting a pre-Pentium machine for $20 are long gone.

Lol, think prices of these might go up so much, someone will start manufacturing them again? 😁

I have a couple of spare AT cases with the MHz LED display on the front, salvaged from dump or side of the road. If you were in Aus I'd probably let you take one for a six pack or something. 😀

I went up to the attic (will be rearranging some stuff tomorrow) and had a look at the AT cases.
And I remember now that AT cases had just sooo many disadvantages:
*Often AT cases are made of poor quality
*Often they have sharp edges, so whenever working inside one, bring some extra plasters 😜
*They have VERY poor cooling, the case might have an option for a front fan at best
*AT PSU's are often of crappy manufacture, and even if you replace it with a quality ATX PSU + adapter, the ATX PSU's with a large fan or opening in the bottom will have this area blocked by the plate that holds the AT PSU in place
*These cases "usually" are of the U cap type, I've only seen them with side panels in 1 case or so.
*Often the harddrive mounting metal thingy will be of great hindrance when mounting/unmounting the AT motherboard (though most AT cases can have the backplate removed, so one advantage there).

I don't think anybody in australia actually drinks fosters. Its like our major export beer - we think its crap so we ship it to all the poor suckers overseas 😜

You do hey?

My Pentium MMX rig has a speed display, I set the display to 199 because the leading digit can only be a 1. 😜

Yeah I don't think I've ever seen one that had more than a 1 for the leading digit.

One is boxed up ready to go for mattym on atomic who posted a 'goodbye cruel world' type thread so I guess that's ones up for grabs now?

EDIT: just checked and I think its a newer style AT case that doesn't have the display. I think I have at least 1 with the display at home, maybe 2.

Smart guys 😉

We do the same with Heineken, which tastes like water 😜

I'm even contemplating making something (out of wood, maybe with case mounted speakers) as a way around it!

I did a google image search for home made computer case, and the results are inspiring.

And here I figured you for a VB drinker. Everywhere I go I see Aussies talking about how much they love VB.

Fosters is for tourists (I think). Nobody local drinks it...

VB is horrible, those 'aussies' should have their citizenship revoked imho

They should rename VB to BC.
