Hi Folks,
                  I have got in front of me an old 286 chassis and  an ATX power supply and the four holes in the back of the ATX PS match the holes in the AT computer case quite OK. And the cut out for the fan and the power plug and socket is also OK. This provides for four mounting points, which IMHO, should be enough. However, the ATX PS does not have any mounting holes through its sides as the  old AT would have. 
These are generic garden variety power supplies and chassis; when it comes to something unusual like Acer or HP that would be probably a different story.
                                                                                                              Regards
                                                                                                                             Milan Pospisil
