PS for Emachines 'T' tower

[legacyNW]

Hey folks, I want to replace the 250W PS in the wife's old emachines tower, looking for something quieter & more wattage. BUT - looks like a tight fit - are all ATX PSs the same formfactor (size) or are the higher W supplies physically larger?

TIA

Your summary says TAX, don't you mean ATX. 😀
http://www.power-on.com/ lists emachine, look up the exact model and see what they say about size and pinouts. Then link it here.

Hey GREAT site, thanks for the link. It is 5.5" x 5.9" x 3.4"

So it's standard ATX size of 150X140X86mm and it uses standard ATX pin outs.

Look and see if a PSU that uses a 120 fan will be OK. Then buy a Enhance ENP-5140GH
from eWiz.com for < $60. The ATX plug is 20 or 24.
If you must use a unit with a 80mm fan, eWiz did have a 360W Enhance unit for < $40.

you better do your research. i've got an old t1090 emachines and they used sfx power supplies. the newer black ones i think use atx.
