Sounds like what was sometimes refered to as a PS/2 power supply. I
don't know who started calling them that. I've never seen a PS/2 with a
power supply that looked anything like what you describe. Don't most
powers supplies look like that now?
Unless you really like the thing..... I'd stripp it, recycle the steel
and find a real PS/2 or something, anything, better than a PB.

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,
