GX260 power supply problem
I have an Optiplex GX260 with what appears to be a bad power supply (from conversations with Tech. support and my own determinations). I would like to replace the power supply myself since the system is no longer under warranty. However, I can't find the part number on any of the online documentation for the system. This is a small form factor chassis Optiplex, so it has the small power supply (non-standard size, of course :-) Also, I can't find a way to order a specific part from Dell to use myself (as opposed to doing through warranty service). Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Apparently that part number for the small form factor GX 260 is 1N405. There are quite a few of those supplies listed over on ebay:

or

Not endorsing the seller or the item, just passing along information. The 5-digit Dell part number should appear on the barcode sticker on the PS. The number is in the *middle* of a jumble of about 12-15 numbers on that label.
Good luck

Thanks, NVRambo! I looked up the items on eBay, and then contacted Dell's Spare Parts division (finally found their phone number). The prices were comparable to the "Buy Now" items on eBay (and I need it NOW, of course), so I went ahead and ordered directly from Dell. Hopefully it will arrive in the next day or two according to the salesperson. Thanks again for taking the time to respond to my query! And I'll remember to check out spare parts on eBay in the future...
