yes, very easy. take the side panel off and look to see how things are running and hooked to where. remove the 4 screws on the back holding it in place. while removing the last screw, hold the power supply while taking the screw the rest of the way out. now with it loose, unplug the HDD, cdrom and floppy if there is one. next, carefully remove the plug or plugs that go into the motherboard. don't force it, there is a small tab that locks it into place. once removed, replace the wirering as you removed it in reverse order. the plug that power the HDD should be pluged in without any other device. the cdrom and the floppy can use the same power harness. ..

Four screws and pull some plugs out of the board. It's real easy to replace a power supply.

Hi. About a 2 on a 1 to 10 scale. Four screws on the back, the cables for power only go in where they are supposed to.

It is very easy to install a power supply. Just make sure you have a big enough case otherwise it can get a little cramped.

Not all that hard...just make sure you get the right one...if you have one that failed I'd take it out and take it with you. After that it is a couple of screws and internal connectors.

Yes, just remember where the plugs went on the old one. you cant really hook it up wrong. the connectors wont fit.
