How difficult do you think it would be to convert an ATX case to an AT case? Or just keep hunting for an AT case.

There are ATX backplates for AT boards and ATX to AT converters for the PSU. However I believe the first one or two AT slots won't have an opening in an ATX case.

From my experience if you can drill holes that line up, the 7 slot AT boards will work in an ATX case with all the card slots lining up. At least if you have a case with out the raised bumps for standard ATX layout and instead have just holes drilled into the plate that you screw the motherboard directly into. The 8 slot ones are just like bjt stated.
