Can't find the computer online... Can you find a link or photo of it and post it?

I have no idea what computer that is... If a photo of the motherboard or front of the case is possible please post it. 

I do recognize the PSU though. Had one lying around from an old computer I scrapped.

this is either a compaq presario 4016/4026

it has a intel Pentium 3 450 mhz and uses 6 pin for cpu power,im pretty sure that's a asus board,the 4 pin fits,but im not sure if it's going to work since the psu was out of a dell pc i use that has issues,all 24 pins are solid but the first 20 fit and i doubt that the 24 pin would be a problem since the first 20 pins are electronically the same,only having doubts about the 6 pin
