I've been searching for a while now for new AT computer cases. The only ones I find for sale are enormous towers. I'm more interested in a mid-tower or a desktop style case. I found a couple companies online that seemed to suggest they had new AT cases, but emails have so far gone unanswered.

Does anyone have a credible verifiable source for new AT computer cases?

There is a black HEC desktop style case (that you can put a monitor on top of) on newegg that supports AT motherboards. It is black (they used to sell beige ones) and in the $50-65 dollar range usually.

Main pc: Asus ROG 17. R9 5900HX, RTX 3070m, 16gb ddr4 3200, 1tb NVME.
Retro PC: Soyo P4S Dragon, 3gb ddr 266, 120gb Maxtor, Geforce Fx 5950 Ultra, SB Live! 5.1

Those are listed on Newegg's ebay store too. 😀

If I remember right there's also an Enlight model or two that will take AT or ATX, and have the PSU mounted "over" the CPU (at least on an ATX board it's this way). Not sure if they're still in production, but they're not horribly uncommon in my experience.

Also searched on ebay, and found these two:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/120761041489 (at least claims it supports AT)

The ones I've found on ebay are pretty hideous. I'd really like one that looks like one of these two:

Or I may just try an ATX computer case and PSU. I found a good adapter for fitting an ATX PSU to an AT MB. I'm just not sure how well an AT MB will line up for mounting in an ATX case.

I think it was decreed somewhere, at some point, that all generic AT cases had to be fugly.

Right that tears it, I'm starting a 'show us your cases' thread!
