We have a rather odd specialist desktop PC that got a knackered power
unit. This wouldn't normally be a problem but on this series of units
they had a slightly lower in height power unit.


Where most all of them are 140 mm high and 85 mm wide and around 150 mm
deep (front to back) this one is 120 mm high! (85 x 120 x 150).
A standard one will stick out of the top of the case which isn't
required;!. Anyone know what they are called and know of anywhere in the
UK you can obtain one from they have the normal fixings and IEC input
and output lads just need this reduced height!..


I obtained a PC PS from CPC - long and thin rather than the more usual
almost square type - and fitted it into the Acorn PS case. The cost was so
low it was not worth the bother of fault finding the original.

Could you do the same sort of thing?
