AT Motherboard Case

Hey guys, I have a quick question. I have a really, really horrible Pentium 810 motherboard or something with no AGP slot. This means my computer sucks. I tried to get a PCI GeForce 4 (which I did) but obviously it is still a miserable computer. I would like to upgrade to a computer with PCI Express or AGP 8x that can take a pentium processor. The catch it, my case only takes an AT motherboard. Any suggestions?

you are not going to find a motherboard with pci-express that will fit in your AT case and even if it does then the back of it where the mouse and keyboard plug in will not fit your case
you will have to buy a new case and powersupply since they havent been making too many AT motherboards for a while now
you will definetly have to buy a new powersupply since your current one is AT, but i dont know maybe by luck or with modding you could fit a micro-ATX motherboard in there
do you have a socket 478 Pentium4?
common sense isn't very common

New cases are really really cheap these days, surely getting a new case is almost a no-brainer if you're going to spend lots of money upgrading the rest of your system??
