Try any computer repair shop. Not sure on how cheap but they can't be too much CC. If more frugal try a local flea market or cruse around on trash night and look for an old case that was replaced. Dumpster dive the repair shop could yield a decent power supply as well. Mostly like the power supply is still good if not toss it and try another. :D

20 bucks is a good price i think. i had to replace a power supply in mine and it was 60. dont know what type it was but 20 would have been better

20 bucks is a pretty good deal for a power supply IMO. Especially if it gets your puter back in action. :D

I am a bit concerned about that. being the mcgeiver that i am,I did something pretty dumb.I tried to replace the fuse and it made pretty blew sparks out the back of the supply.fingers are crossed that i didnt short the whole damn thing..
