Small question about a PSU.

[Toddcraft]

Hi guys,

I am fixing a computer for a friend and I have confirmed that the PSU is bad. It's an eMachines EL1358G, one of the small little cases with the slim PSUs (I guess they're called Mini ITX?) I'm wondering if I can just get ANY Mini ITX PSU (with the same wattage of course), or do I need a specific one?

Thanks,

Todd

Technically any will do if it fits and has the same specs... However some manufacturers make excellent products, some make good, some make decent and some make garbage

Get one that is at least from the good pile - here's the lemon list
