If you feel comfortable plugging things into your walls, then you can go inside the case and make the PS swap. It's not much different.
You don't mention what model you have, so I'll talk about my wife's PowerTower Pro.
The power supply in that case is held in by a few screws which are easily accessible from the back of the case. The power supply itself is connected to the motherboard by a large plastic connector. You remove it by squeezing the latch and pulling the whole plug out. You also will need to wiggle each smaller connector from your hard drive and CD-ROM drives.
It's not too big of a deal, the important thing is to remember to reconnect all of the equipment when you're reassembling.
Take your time and you should be fine.

I went to my computer tonight and no lights - and can't start it!! Changed out surge protector, still no luck. (A lamp plugged in does light.) Checked plugs, all tight.
We figure it's the power supply.?
If we order one from Galaxyhp, is it a "plug and play" thing? Does it come with directions? Can we neophytes at repairing computers do this?? (It sure would be a lot better than buying a new computer)
We appreciate any advice. Thanks
Bill and Olga - both retired and loving it.
