I hope you can help me out with this one...I've searched around, and haven't had much success at all.

I've got a PC Chips 748 mobo, roughly 8.5" square. It's Baby AT format, so I was looking for a compact Baby AT case to mount it in (as compact as possible, because I'm using this for a car PC project). Do you know of any cases that'll work for this? Or am I going to have to resort to making my own case for it? (I'd rather not do that, because my spare time is rather limited, but if I must, then I must...)

If anybody's got any help for me on this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thx!

There are exceedingly few cases that still can mount and AT mobo. But that one is of a size that would fit in many of the uATX cases - you'd just have to rig the mounts and mod the I/O shield for it. Some places actually sell I/O shields to fit the olt AT kbd connector. The Powmax are some of the smallest (assuming you need room for full-size add-on cards.
. What are you going to do for power?

Thanks Zepper. Yeah, maybe that's the best idea, just modding a microATX case. As far as power, that's not a problem, since even though the board is Baby-AT format, it actually has power connectors for both ATX and AT power supply units. So I can use an ATX power supply for it. I'll have to search for those I/O shields, thanks for the info.
