- Hi, all ! I'm looking for a new/used power supply for a Packard Bell PB500
- XT. I called Packard Bell and was referred to one of their authorized
- resellers (PC Serviceland in Atlanta, GA) for the non-standard sized power
- supply (PS-90I - 90 Watt ?!?). I was quoted a price of $156.00 !!! I told
- the guy that this was ridiculous since I could buy a "bare bones box" 386SX
- (case+power supply & motherboard) for that price. He told me that Packard
- Bell really sticks it to ya for replacement parts and that the power supply in
- question is non-standard size for a reason - $$$... Well, to make a long story
- longer, I need a power supply that will fit this tiny case, has a 10-pin power
- connector to the motherboard, and at least two additional connectors for the
- hard disk & floppy disk. I was told by someone that Packard Bell is OEM'd
- by Samsung (or was it Zenith ?!?) but I don't know if this is true. I will
- be willing to pay $20-30 plus shipping for a working power supply but any
- more than this will not make it worth my while. Thanks !!
