  The built-in ports on every ATX motherboard I've seen have included
PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard -- and no "regular" keyboard
connector.  Converters between the two types of keyboard connector are
cheap and easy to find -- and many good keyboards include one so they
may be used with either sort of motherboard connector.
