- Well.. If you look at the pic's of the Walker you can see that the
- ports out of the box is at the bottom. So I belive that the PSU is
- located in the "roof" of the Walker and that it stays there when
- the Walker is expanded.
-
- I'm not just guessing here. The Walker is expanded from the bottom,
- and therefor the motherboard must be located in the bottom of it.
- Thus the PSU must be above the MB and where is a better place than
- attached to the roof in the box. =)
