Can I use this old ATX power supply into? [atx motherboard] [pin connector]
Q: I have this old food I got from an old computer. The problem is that the motherboard connector is a 12 pin connector instead of the standard ATX type. Can I convert so I can use it with an ATX motherboard?
Best Answer: it would be cheaper and easier in the long run to get a cheep power supply for $50 then try to monkey around and possibly fry the board

Re:main difference between AT and ATX is the fact that ATX has 3.3/5/12v rails, vs. AT which just has 5/12.
AT also doesnt not have the ability to be software-shutdown. (power switch is hard wired)
