I hate to be a party pooper but my experience is that when a switching
power supply blows the protection fuse, it often is a sign that
something pretty terminal has happened to the power supply itself. I
don't mean to discourage you from replacing the fuse with another -- but
don't be too surprised if the new one blows instantly (meaning that the
PSU is toast).
Cheers,
Cwi

my power supply has just experienced an electrical event which has
blown its fuse. (enermax 485 watt noisetaker) the fuse is a 5mm x
20mm glass and i believe, from the markings, it's a 10amp 250v. i'm
having a terrible time trying to find a replacement for this (new
york city) as radio shack doesn't carry them. can anyone tell me a)
if this is a fast acting/slow burn/time delay etc... fuse and b)
where i might be able to buy/order these? my local computer repair
shop just shrugged at me and told me to replace the power supply :/
to keep this vaguely on topic - this is the machine that runs my
slimserver so i'm tuneless at the moment!!
thank you!

If it's the voltage rating that's making it difficult to obtain then
don't worry about it, It's the current rating that's important. If you
can only get a 110V 10A fuse then it will be the same.
Also a T in the current rating designates a time delay or slow blow
fuse ie. T10A=10A slow, 10A= 10A normal.
