NopeDid they ever make any 486s that took ATX PSUs?

No, just nonstandard OEM boards and power supplies.Did they ever make any 486s that took ATX PSUs?
Core Duos are still cheap (systems and parts) so not sure those are worth selling. 486 systems are worth selling but are probably worth more in parts.I have thought about a SCSI controller, I still have a SCSI HD laying around. But, maybe I will just see if I can find some new face plates or restore the ones I have. Part of the fun is searching too, I will at some point have at least 4 systems to sell, 2 extra souped up 486's and 2 XP Core Duos, maybe, you never know. Relearning, some mods, makes for fun times!
Build an industrial system, with an ATX Backplane... Some come in full size boards that support ATX as well!

You need to remove that battery ASAP. Looks like it's already starting to leak.This is the next 486 Project Board when the Gateways are done.
Agreed, looks like its just on the brink, its on the todo list. I do have a replacement already for it when I get to it. This board is not powered right now as its the next project.You need to remove that battery ASAP. Looks like it's already starting to leak.
Please don't post anything that ChatGPT (or other AI's) vomits out, not even for fun. The factual errors will propagate and turn into gospel. It's bad enough when actual people post incorrect info, we don't need AI to add to that. It's especially bad since a lot of people for some reason tend to give this AI crap higher credibility.For fun, GPT's definition;
