I once saw an ibm ps/2 with the top off somewhere. I had always just assumed for some strange reason that they had some funny power supply that ran all the way down the right side of the machine -- the power switch is a nice big thing on the very front. But it turns out that it's just connected by a long rod like you describe all the way to a standard supply at the back.
