is the only difference the back i/o panel?
and the switch? how do you set up the switch? get a whole new switch al together?

That's it.

The ATx switch is a pulse swith, in newer cases a press button is used instead of a switch. It doesnt maintain the ON position like the old at psu's, due to the psu on/off being done through the atx board.

the I/O panel ( printer, keyb, usb...etc) is the next change to be done, just cut a small rectangle to fit the new mobo . No big deal, i've done it myself on an older case once.

I have heard that there is a pin you can pull out of the old AT switches, or a tab you can break off, that will make them work with ATX supplies, but you might as well buy a new switch.

All you need is some sort of momentary swich.

I've used door bells, the clapper, two wires attached to plastic that I would just touch. old reset switches. Once, as an experiment I ised a relay hooked up to an old car alarm. It worked pretty good with the remote. At least until I got remote start on my car, and discovered that it kept turning on the computer.
