One of the cheapest computers at Wal-Mart is the eMachines Black EL1352G-01w (http://www.walmart.com/ip/eMachines-EL1352G-01w/15062989). I've asked eMachines if their power supplies on their Slim Cases were standard FlexATX, but the guy didn't know even after asking his supervisor. He gave me a link that only shows:

220 W (Non-PFC)
220 W (PFC)
220 W (PFC, 80Plus-certified, more than 82% efficiency)

I'm thinking of using software RAID1 & use it as a cheap configurable NAS (2 GB RAM is plenty & the cpu is sufficiently powerful). It'll be on constantly, It will be housed in a "dusty environment", where power supplies are the 1st thing that BREAKS.

I'm wondering if it uses FlexATX or a proprietary power supply? Anyone here has an eMachine Slim Case and knows the answer? I believe all their current Slim case models use the exact same case & power supplies.

Many Thanks!!

If you're computer is like mine: Dell Inspiron 531s, then what you're looking for are TFX power supply units.

Which if you're living in North America can only be found up to 300W (as far as I know).

Apparently Sea Sonic produces quality products, so you should look for those. Goes for about $50 for a 300W.
