I would like to place my 286 in a tower case but....

I would like to place my 286 computer in a tower case but I'm unsure of two things.

1. Would it even seat properly with the expansion ports lining up on the back.

2. Do I have to use the power supply that has the on/off switch built into it or can I use an AT power supply that uses the on/off button on the case.

Thanks.

Depending on the motherboard model the isa slots on the case should line up ok. Also the correct PSU will depend on the MB used. Post a model number and more detail and I might be able to help more.
