Because the D-2350 has an open back, you can use most generic standard ATX PSU, with or without, the on/off switch.

Yes, the PSU, shown here should be fine,

The 2350 uses a standard generic ATX power supply. Because the case has an open back, you can buy a power supply with or without the on/off switch so pretty much any old thing down at CompUSA will work.   The proprietary PSUs went out years ago, but people like to relive the memory.
