HELP! Dell is being mean

[zleuth]

I am trying to get replacement PSU's for 2 dell machines that recently failed. The only replacements I can find from dell are listed as "refurbished", and have gone UP in price in the last 2 weeks.
Here are links to what I am trying to get from Dell. Any suggestions as to an alternate source? I would be thrilled not to have to deal with Dell for parts that are as likely or MORE likely to fail as the ones I am replacing.

Any input would be helpful!

Just google "Y2103" and "2N333" for plenty of people selling these. If you want something better then you need to look and see about the special 6 pin power connector that might be used (or not). I would consider hacking it off the old dead supply and solder/splicing it onto an new supply if I could find the pinout. Should be easy enough to cut a hole for the power switch and then you could use a Standard supply.

Never used these guys, cheap enough .

1) Call 800-999-3355, navigate to the spare/replacement parts division, provide the p/n or pc service tag and order a new one for $30-$40
2) If the psu doesn't have any proprietary connectors then take a dremel to the back of the chassis, cut the area around the power cord out, now you can fit a standard ATX psu
3) Order one from PCP&C (expensive)
