One of the long-standing drawbacks of PB systems is the lack of or the
difficulty of finding technical info about the computers. I could only find a
photo of the chassis on a retail web site. It looks like a microATX or
mid-sized ATX tower.
If the system is a Pentium 4 or a later Athlon, you need an ATX-12v power supply
with an ATX connector and an additional 12v connector required by the newer
CPUs.
A standard ATX-12v power supply measures approx 5 3/4" x 3 1/4" at the back.
The depth is about 5 1/2". A variation of this form factor, often found in
cheesy HP Pavilion systems is only around 4" deep to fit in a cramped chassis.
If the power supply dimensions at the back are anything less, you need to match
up the dimensions EXACTLY. That is the bad news. The good news is that
companies like HiPro, Astec, Sparkle, and Bestec make all sorts of power
supplies... Ben Myers
