If you're interested in doing it, I know someone who can do the whole job
for you. He has coverted an ATX to a MTX and has a VERY good handle on
conversions. As a matter of fact, he is willing to convert anyones ATX to a
MTX. He can supply the parts and labor to do it and it takes him about 1
week turn around.
