Most places won't sell you a power supply without the case these days. Annoying yes, but when you figure it out the case is (unless you're using a full tower or other server case) about �10 of the price anyway...
************************************************************* I dunno Andy. All I would have to do is go to an electronics store, the kind where you can buy individual resistors and diodes and the like.
Or some place like CompUSA.
Just ask for a 400W ATX power supply. And it is a lot less work than moving the whole computer into a new case.
Though, by the time you get all those wires threaded through the narrow openings into the right place (frequently requiring that you move components to make room), attempt to turn the machine on and nothing happens, then find the ones that weren't plugged in tightly enough, not a whole lot less . . .
