I'm looking for a cheap/free PB power supply... I have an old free PB
486 with a PSU with a back end dimension of about 5" wide by less than
4.5" tall, perhaps as short as 3.5" (I'm going by the holes in the back
of the case, not the PSU). It is substantially smaller than a "normal"
AT PSU.

I dropped an Intel 83MHz overdrive in it, and use it as a cable-modem
router. The fan gunked up and the PSU died. I have a temporary
replacement, but it doesn't fit in the case.

In case anyone can help, another identifying feature is that the case
has a long, crooked white plastic pushrod to power it on and off. The
actual power switch is in the PSU enclosure.

Thanks,

-ethan
