I recently unearthed an old Baby-AT case, and ripped out the ASUS SV-97 Motherboard (I think. I threw it away :P), and realized...

"James.

Practice your noobish modding skills with this case."

So, the case is fairly small. It was obviously designed with Baby-AT in mind, and I plan on converting it into an mATX case. How?

Shave away,of course!

The first problem -

The crazy thing is just way too small! The only way I see being able to fit the Mobo in is if I cut away the PSU support-bars, But where would I put the PSU?

(Idea! Maybe mount it on it's side on the inside of the case! Maybe??)

Second Problem -

The I/O Panel.
I became very frustrated after removing all the old hardware and finding out that the I/O panel was held in place by odd-looking soldered-screw-ish connections. I am going to have to rip out the panel, and (Somehow) Fabricate a new one...

Does anyone know the standard dimensions for I/O Panels?

Third and Final...
The Power Switch.
I plan to keep the switches that are on, however, there is a "Turbo" switch on the front-panel that I want to be able to press to turn the machine on.

What IS Turbo, and can I take the connector and rig it to the motherboard? Or am I better off finding a brand new switch?

Thanks!
