There's no rule that says the PSU has to be flush with the back of the<BR>>
AT case, or even _inside_ the case. Duct tape can be very

<DIV>Hi Folks,</DIV>
<DIV>
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. </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV>
Regards</DIV>
