An Indy motherboard is *tiny*.  All you'd really need would be a longer cable
so you could stash the power supply (and the power switch) away somewhere...

At least 3" of the width of an Indy is the power supply, which "slides" onto
the metal tray containing the motherboard, for those of you who have never
taken one apart (I've sure replaced enough power supplies...)
