3U Case PSU Compatibility

I am looking at a 3U rack mount case for a personal server but dont want or need a server grade PSU. I know a full ATX PSU will not fit in the case but an SFX PSU should. Can anyone confirm that this is the case and if any of the mountinfg holes line up? I also dont mind taping the PSU to the inside of the case if that is required. 

Thanks!

What case is it? Some, if not most 3U rack mounts should be able to accept a full size ATX psu

@TVwazhere @LukeSavenije The specific case is this: https://www.servercase.co.uk/shop/server-cases/rackmount/3u-chassis/3u-server-case-w-16x-35-hot-swappable-satasas-drive-bays-minisas-2u-and-redundant-psu-sc-316/

None of the mounting holes line up, but theoretically it should still fit within the case. The case is 5.1" tall and the SFX PSU is 4.92" wide at it's max

That confirms what I thought. I think double sided tape may be the way to go in that case. Thanks.
