Hi guys - Some freshmeat on the boards here.
I've got a bunch of parts on the way for a 486 machine I'm building but I really need something a little more asthetically pleasing than a standard yellowing AT case (which I'm having trouble sourcing anyhow).
I was looking at some modern ATX cases manufactured by NZXT and on most of them they claim a BABY-AT board will fit (even though they have screw markings on the mobo tray for only ATX, Mini-ATX and Micro-ATX and the manual doesn't mention this formfactor).
Having never worked on an AT motherboard before I can't tell if these new cases would do the job. Could you take a look at the screw layout on the case image and compare it to the motherboard image and advise me if it will work?
Case:

MOBO - ASUS PVI-486SP3 (Half Size PCB, 22cm x 26cm (8.7" x 10.2"):

I have an ATX PSU and cable adaptor to AT ready.
Are these BABY-AT case claims correct or is it just a load of twaddle?
EDIT: Also does anyone know how to go about setting up the power button on the front of the case to work without plugging it into the mobo pins (which aren't there as it's an AT board)
Many Thanks
