Nothing wrong with using the AT style system if it is serving the purpose.

But to help answer your question...

ATX Power Supply
ATX Mothereboard

Main difference between AT/ATX is the power connections to the Motherboard.

Luck.

Also the layout of the connectors on the back of the case are different .
(Keyboard,mouse,printer,com ports, and sound if equipt)on ATX


If your case has a replaceable connector bracket you are in good shape.
If not you may need to replace the case also http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/frown.gif
