This one is a delta electronics DPB-145PB-117. It's actually not a small form factor PC, it's a vertical and about one step short of full height and is quite wide. The PSU is quite small, though, very close to cube-like (65mmx120mmx97mm, okay note really cube-like but not long).
I think ex-lease is the winner, but thanks for your offer.

Hi Rob
It was a long shot but the Gateway PSU I have is much bigger - no point trying to force it in and ex-lease will be easier - try hymans.co.nz or graysonline.co.nz or your mate Reg @ PCR.

I work there almost every Friday and he's mentioned your name a few times, plus I helped Dave with the lease prices for your mag about a year ago. Reg should have a good cheap Compaq PC for your grandmother.
