Probably your old computer and case use an AT power supply.
If your newer computer also uses an AT power supply AND
if the motherboard fits (is not proprietary), then it may be
possible to make the swap.

It is possible, however, that your newer computer has an ATX
motherboard.  If this is the case, then it is not possible.  You
should purchase an ATX   power supply for it.

Good day.

I have one old computer with 286 processor working nice but having very
limited working space and handling capacity of WINDOWS 3.1 and DOS

I have second computer Pentium 133 processor having some problem from power
supply.
This machine runs with  WINDOWS 95 is installed and has HDD of 2GB

Is it possible to use only case and power supply of the older computer on
which I will shift the mb and all the components HDD+ZIP DRIVE+CD+3.5 and
5.25 FDD (HDD works just fine but due to the power supply problem, many
clusters are more and more becoming BAD - also it is partitioned because
WINDOWS 95 cant' allow more then 1 or 2 GB but I can access to the
partitionned 'D' drive. There are some downloaded files which I would like
to recover.)

Can you please advice if above is possible.

Thanks a lot

M. Kansara
