RE: PC has died need some pointers

["Rowdy" <aoop43@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, I've found an old Pentium 3 machine, so I've used the power
supply
from that and we are back in business. Excellent news.



I must admit I would never have thought it was the power supply.

I had to do an emergency replacement job on a PC PSU a couple of years ago
and - as it was a Sunday - then PCW were the only option. The Jeantech PSU
I bought might not be silent (but it's quieter than the PSU it replaced
which was supposed to be a quiet one) and it has plenty of power
connectors - other than that it is still going strong so can't fault it.

PCW do also stock some non-Jeantech PSUs too if you really need a
"name"
on your PSU. (Seems a bit like only wearing undies that are Calvins to
me.)
