1347678	2013-07-01 21:54:00	Anyone know where to source Acer parts? I'm after a PSU for a 2004-ish vintage SFF desktop. Part# 9PA250A000 Looks something like this, with a SATA power connector i.ebayimg.com(KGrHqFHJC0E7BcvfcB9BO6GZJ8erg~~60_35.JPG I seem to recall contacting Acer directly a couple of years ago for some part and they were next to useless.

Dove are Acer agents, you could ask, but really, it shouldn't matter, a standard PSU will do.	pctek (84)

Its often a non standard size & shape power supply :badpc: , as PCTEK says, you may have to change the case if you cant get a PSU to fit. Also try your local computer recyclers. http://www.computerrecycling.co.nz/ Try trademe, you may have to buy the whole PC, a PC that old should be dirt cheap.	1101 (13337)

A standard PSU definitely works, had it hooked up to one for an hour or so no problem. I had to source a SFF Dell PSU a couple of years ago and that cost around $140 (refurbished).	Renegade (16270)

Did manage to locate a third party one, BUT it was 5 mm wider than the Acer, and wouldn't fit :( The other problem about changing cases is some acers have the back plate built into the case, so you cant pop it out and put it into another standard case - OK if you dont mind having no backplate.	wainuitech (129)
