Joni_78 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Does anyone know if there are any new smallish and good looking cases that would fit this mobo and would also have a slot for floppy and cd-rom?

Mindovermaster Global Moderator Posted December 21, 2022 Global Moderator Share Posted December 21, 2022 Ummm, who the hell uses this board anymore? I'm not even sure if that is ATX... Look at page 11, y'all.. https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/slot1/440bx/p2b-vm/p2bvm-104.pdf That's a Pentium 2/3..

Mindovermaster Global Moderator Posted December 21, 2022 Global Moderator Share Posted December 21, 2022 Well, being it ATX, it should fit in any case. But as for vintage computing, I don't think it would fit in anything.. Guys?

Jim K Global Moderator Posted December 21, 2022 Global Moderator Share Posted December 21, 2022 Maybe? https://www.newegg.com/midnight-black-cooler-master-n-series-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811119277 or https://www.newegg.com/black-silverstone-precision-atx-micro-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811163352 or https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811129207?Description=antec&cm_re=antec-_-11-129-207-_-Product ...all seem a bit expensive for a "retro" build.

i_was_here Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Look at the Cooler Master N400. Also if you can forgo the dedicated floppy slot and just convert one of the 5.25" slots then you may have more choices such as the Fractal Design Focus G or SilverStone PS11.

Joni_78 Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Thanks I didn't find any and now I have multiple options.

goretsky Supervisor Posted December 21, 2022 Supervisor Share Posted December 21, 2022 Hello, A few more options I found on Newegg: APEX DM-387 Black Settel Micro ATX Media Center Inwin BL040 mATX Desktop Case Inwin CE685.FH300TB3 Black mATX Mini Tower Case Note that a low-height CPU cooler probably needs to be used with these.

corrosive23 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Yeah any micro-atx case should fit. I hope you have the i/o panel as older 440bx ones are hard to find without spending an outrageous sum. Since the P2b-VM has onboard ATI Rage 3d, it would be a great board to pair with a voodoo2. I use a P2B in my retro PC with a p3 550 and a voodoo 3 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1424329-new-case-for-asus-p2b-vm/#findComment-598785925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
