Using this older Gateway G6 shell...

[TWISK]

I have this ageing Gateway G6-180 at my work(and thank god we are not using gateways for our worksations). It is an Pentium Pro 180 system. Unfortunatly I cannot determine the MB type, but the PCI chipset is a SB82441FX. Well it is dead, but the case looks like an ATX case. I have convinced my boss to allow me to gut the thing and put in a new MB and proc. Now to me the case LOOKS like an ATX, but I am unsure and I would look pretty stupid to my boss ordering these parts only to find out that I cannot use the case! Now I realize that I could go out and spend another $30-50 on a case but the whole point here is to use exsisting parts.
Would anyone know if the cases that Gateway used for their G6-180 line are ATX cases? Was thinking of putting in an ASUS CUSL2 or MSI 815e Pro and a PIII 700. This of course is a prelude to myself getting either board for home, after many an hour at work(and getting paid also)messing with it.

Anyway, thanks for any info given,

I don't know how different that one is from my G6-350. But when I upgrade the motherboard the power connector were to short to go to the boards. So I had to get an extension for it, besides that I don't see any other problems. I you could just describe how the case look like. You might have to get a new PS cuz those PS in there were like 200W PS or something. I couldn't remember.

Is the power connector that goes into the mobo a 2 piece unit (2 pairs of 6 wires) or just 1 big one (20wires) ?
1 big 20 wire one = ATX
2 smaller 6 wires each = AT

yup, Power supply has one big connector to the MB. So to me it looks like an ATX case. Though I am going to need a new PS cuz it says on the PS that the maximum power output is 145W. Now I am no expert on PS but if that means that it is an 145W PS, that will not cut it!!!

Anyway, thats for all the posts guys,
