Hey everyone... this is the only part of the computer field i really have no knowlege in.... COMPUTER CaSeS!
I have a packard bell 600 pentium motherboard... its got 2-ps2's serial, printer, video in one long metal strip... the board is about the same size as my pentium ii atx board. It has power management features if I had a power supply supporting that... such as auto off and standby... right now i have the standard AT power supply attached to it... Another reason why it wont go in my at or atx cases is because the boards line up vertically! It's designed with all the isa and pci slots on an "expansion card" LOLOLOL>... Toaster know what type of case i need for it? |

You are better off getting a generic motherboard and an ATX case.

Pekkerd Bells are very propriatory. They do however "loosly" follow the so called "NLX" form factor. This isn`t to say it would fit in any other case, but it might. The problem being is the "card tree" that Pekkerd Bell uses (used).
Give it up, pekkered Bells are slow lathargic creatures that offer little more then the occaisional annoyance to its user. The "tower" style is even a wose nightmare as its a hybrid NLX/AT hybrid so the company can build a few system board types and a myriad of cases. Find someone you dislike and give them the Pekkerd Bell, they`ll never hassle you again knowing what true rath you showed.
