	No you cant use ATX power supplys with AT systems or the
other way around.  They ATX connector will be different.  ATX expanded
on the old AT power supply spec, ATX systems can power down when they
are hot, or if the fan fails.  The shape and size is also different.  On
ATX
the fan on the power supply is positioned to help cool the mainboard too.

	So no, it wont fit, and you couldnt connect it to an ATX mainboard.
