There is NO WAY that these PSUs can be trimmed down, without some significant work!
The main blocker is that there are 2 PCB that are standing up. One of them is on the side of the PSU, and runs the whole height. The connector is a double row of 0.100" pins, and there must be 20 pins, at least.
The second PCB stands up right in the middle of the main board, near the back of the PSU. It's not as tall, but is also connected with another double row of pins, also of the 90 degree variety.
Other than that, the heatsinks occupy a huge amount of space, but they'll be replaced with a copper plate, with a copper tube soldered on top of it. There's also a transformer that's pretty tall, and a capacitor that's even taller.:shrug:
