Default WTB: A4000T Escom power supply (original)

Hi.. A slightly unusual request* but I'm looking for the original 250W AT power supply that came with the Escom A4000T.*
*
It should say on it, Enhance Electronics Co, Ltd.... Model E525*
*
Am based in the UK and paypal on standby.

Many thanks!* *

Curious as to why you want it, when you can get a brand new AT PSU or ATX PSU with converter which will work much better.

Ah, well.. what X-Ray said... :-D

I am also curious why you want one... If you're trying to build a '100% original' 4000T, great... but it won't power any of the 'goodies' that you'd want to put in the 4000T in the first place....
OK, I have one,... but can't honestly say how 'well' it works... (sometimes, on a 'good' day, I could power the 4000T mobo, boot drive, CS 3... next day, it might not work....)
You still want it?

The original had some internal brackets that were ideal for mounting a "spot cool fan" I use to help cool down my CSPPC.*

I just noticed after removing the old PSU that 3 pins on the P9 connector and 1 pin on the P8 connector had completely burnt out!! :

Could this be a symptom of being drawing to much power or sound more like a short on the system :-?

Mine has done the same - the standard PSU is underpowered. I intend to replace it with an ATX one as soon as I can work out what adaptor exactly it is I need to buy.

Akiko and nOw2: Just make sure the adapter has a power switch, ATX PSU's don't have them. I'm debating on getting a 400W AT PSU from newegg.com , as someone here suggested . It's 'plug-and-play' on a 4000T...

True, but you can add one/hack one in if you are electrically inclined. One of the wires going to the ATX connector at least turns it on. I have a switch adapter for ATX but I can't look at it right now.
