sorry, i didn't check derf enough to know about the lots thing. if you order from digikey, remember they also have the small metric drive jumpers and some excellent fans, as well as several types of cable that may be useful to you. digikey also has excellent capacitors for switching supplies (it's worth getting the best ones, the price difference is small and they should last longer than you'll care), it might be wise to go ahead and replace at least the 220 uF cap that goes with the diodes and any others that are showing signs of fading. electrolytic caps have a nice feature by accident, the markings are on a plastic band that's a type of heat shrink tubing, when electrolytics in power supplies start to go they usually wind up running hotter and the band will shrink more. normally the band covers the top around the edges, when it pulls back it's a sure sign of a cap that's dying. it's really very handy. i've seen some that had metal showing around the circumference by the time they came in for repair. just a thought if you're ordering parts any way.
