Replacement Power Supply
Guys, can you steer me towards a reputable online dealer of replacement parts for crappy five year-old computers?
My HP a730n just goes "tick" when I hit the power button, and no lights or anything come on. I don't want to grab a cheap $20 power supply and have it not fit or something, so I'm looking specifically for the a730n replacement part, an ATX-300-12ZCDR. Thanks in advance!

I find tiger direct (www.tigerdirect.com) to have excellent prices and service. You will need at least a 300w supply.

We have Fry's here, too, but my wife knew of an even geekier place with just rows and rows of shelves of junk (like WallE's house) and, although I did have to send her back once to get the 24 pin power supply, sure enough when I slapped it in--my machine lit up, just like I was 99% sure it would.
Who knows, maybe the new power supply is "defective" somehow; but not according to the "my PC works again" criteria. btw: Tiger Direct has storefronts?

In a few places.
Glad your computer is feeling better. ![]() And what was the geekier place?

I have a feeling I could quickly find $100 of stuff I didn't know I needed.

You've obviously never worked front-line Help Desk. Some people get positively surly when you tell them you can't pull their five-year-old file (that they had never backup up anyway) off the backup tapes.
