I recently bought this older mini ATX desktop because it has a bit of a retro Packard Bell look. Only one of the standoffs that support the motherboard line up with the holes on a baby AT motherboard, so I will need to improvise to make ends meet by drilling and threading some needed standoffs and plastic legs where needed so I don’t flex the mobo or short it out when swapping Isa cards. I also plan on putting a turbo mhz led display in there either where the usb port is on the bezel or just in the 3.5” or 5.25” bay cover.
Perhaps a bigger issue is that the matx power supply that works with the matx board does not give any response when plugged into the 486 board through the p8/p9 conversion adapter. According to the internet, it’s the same as any other ATX psu, just lower wattage, so I’m puzzled why it doesn’t power on.
