    Interesting video about PC form factors and PSU history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGoM3Sqr2-w
    even mentions Usenet couple of times.

    That's the "Cathode Ray Dude - CRD", guy who tries and does manage to
    pack some good technical content that makes watching his hour plus vids
    a lot more palatable than Hollywood film nonsense.

    Disappointing he got to the bottom of the rabbithole of exactly where
    the mechanical design of the ATX power supply was ripped from, the
    placement of the mounting screws, form factor etc...

    Anyone know the origin? Wasn't IBM....
