I have a Baby AT form mother board (Tyan AT 100 S1590 Trinity) with ATX powersupply option. With the AGP port it has a total of 9 slots with 2 being shared. If I want to use the ATX PS and AGP I need to find a ATX box that has 8 expansion slots or an AT case that has an optionl ATX powersupply. I found one but it was a server box and it sold for $799.00. $799.00 is a little out of my price range for a pc case.
