I replaced my Sawtooth power supply with an Antex SmartPower350. I got it for $60 at Circuit City, although you could probably get it for less elsewhere. I highly recommend it. It's very quiet, temperature controlled and......the big one..... the power cables are more than long enough to reach the motherboard.

I only had to modify the two wires that are mentioned in the link Alex posted (below).

Job done in around 15 minutes.

Well the pinout of the power supplies on the B&W and Sawtooth are the
same the B&W power supply is less powerful. Depending on the number of
hard drives, the video card, and if you have or plan to get an processor
upgrade card, you could probably get by with the B&W power supply.
Though I would recommend getting a Sawtooth power supply or modding a
ATX power supply.

Here's the link for modding an ATX PS to work with the Sawtooth:
