hi all,

can anyone tell me the name of a 350 watt power supply that is
compatible with a compac presario 5000.

i have an antec 350 watt power in my intel/gateway pc. i was going to
but this same one for my kids presario 500 and was told by antec that it
will not work in a comapq. antec is not compatible with compaq.

im hoping there is one available at bestbuy.
