I know its dangerous to replace the power supply fan. I need to know what kind of power supply to get. I know there are different wattages, but don't know what to get. I have an emachine T1842, windows xp, 1.80 ghz, 40 gb hard drive, 512 mb ddr. Is that enough info? I bought this used and am upgradng little by little. Thanks!

Check that website out... that one is only 34.00 in american and it says it supports your system... But you could probably check newegg.com or tigerdirect and anything over 300 should be good for your system as is... If you plan to install anything new, then get a 400+...

Its not that dangerous.. I have replaced my twice now. What I did was shut my system completely down, and removed the old one, took it with me to Best Buy and got another one.. Don't run your system on the bad one , it will overheat and you will burn up your system.. Go buy a new one.. Its really simple to change..

a 350w or 400w power supply should be more than ample..here in Australia you could pick one up for around $45
