Is this what you are looking for Ian? There are a few more complex and powerful looking PSUs.

Yes similar, it's all in the overall wattage and the number and type of output connectors. The faulty one is a 650W job with a few more outputs than the one in your photo. Probably be easier if I popped up to have a look at some point.

Only got a 550 here...
There's a few bits in a case, 3TB SATA drives, an Icy Box (removable drive) CPU heat sink and fan...
You're welcome to it all if you don't find anything at Wendy's, it's just sat in the corner of my office taking up space

Thanks Kev, the wattage is not really the key other than the higher the better. Its the outputs. Ideally I need 4 x Molex, 4 x SATA plus the normal 20+4 mainboard connector and a 4 pin for the CPU.
The 4 x Molex are for an MSI Twin Frozr graphics card which uses them all. At a push I could skip the graphics card as it also has SVGA on the mainboard but I would lose HDMI for the bigger monitor that our Jack has given us. The monitor will do both.

I have 3 Drives and a DVD writer which is also SATA. I'll have a look at Wendy's and see what Col had in his treasure chest. With most drives being SATA now the problem has moved onto the 4 x bog standard MOLEX 12v connectors. I think they reappear on the higher wattage supplies.
