This model uses a standard ATX power supply. Avoid the low cost power supplies as they tend to be overrated (watts) and have poor voltage regulation.
I reccomend the "modular" type power supplies as they eliminate some of the unused power lead clutter. There will be unused power leads in any power supply that have to be "stuffed" inside the case and the modular type eliminate most (but not all) of the unused cables.
Look over the available ones at www.newegg.com (where I buy most of my PC parts). HERE is an example and at a good price with the rebate and free shipping.
