So I dug out my old d/t and it appears to have a faulty p/s, as it boots but goes to sleep mode immediately with just the slow flashing light... I can see & hear that everything else is running fine, so guessing the p/s is the problem.

It is still factory, as I never upgraded anything in the case.

Basically, can I pull this unit (300w) that came with it, and toss in "any" higher output p/s that will fit?

Also, I want to add a couple more case fans, but notice the m/b doesn't have extra 3 prong slots...can I get some kind of adapter for the other plugs?

Any help GREATLY appreciated!

Yes a standard ATX type power supply will work fine. As far as case fans many case fans either have a adaptor to the 4 pin molex connectors with them or you can buy them at most computer stores or online.
