Help Needed!
PL1:
You ordered direct from Happ??
Hope you didn't get "Happ-slapped" with excessive shipping charges.
They have quite a reputation for doing that, but supposedly have gotten better recently by allowing flat rate boxes instead of not telling you what the shipping will cost until after they pack it up and ship it off.
If the shipping charges were reasonable, was there a particular shipping option you selected during checkout, or did the customer service representative help with that?

@OP Don't take my suggestion.
Now that he's found his part....
Is it just me or wouldn't a reasonably decent ATX supply with a modified harness or adapter work equally as well? Seems to me the specs on a decent PC PSU go way above and beyond the specs I'm seeing there and, except for the soft power circuitry, would be more than adequate for the job? After all, the PCB inside is just looking for 12v and 5v. Not like those weird ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- boards that want crazy amounts of -5v or some other obscure voltage and/or amperage hardly anyone makes anymore.
Or am I missing something here?

I got usps priority for $15.53. Figured thats around the ballpark in price I was expecting. I ordered it right on the phone with the guy who called me back. He was very helpful. All together my total came to around $75, so Im happy. He sent me a confirmation the same day too.

Its one thing after another... I got my new power supply in the mail yesterday and found out it has a 12 pin plug on it when I need a 9 pin.. I was promised this would be a direct drop in fit, plug in and play. I sent him the pictures of the original supply since they "never heard of that model".
Does anyone know if its possible to splice in the old plug on the new power supply? Or how a person would go about it? That is my last resort of course and am hoping they can send me out the correct one, but Im gettin antzy and tired of waiting for stuff in the mail.. :hissy:

Disclaimer: I haven't looked up the manuals -- just talking theory here.
In the pic you posted earlier there was a 3 pin connector in addition to the 9 pin -- does the 12 pin combine those two into one connector?
Compare and map the pinouts of the new and old power supplies.
You may be able to extract the pins from the new power supply 12 pin connector shell and insert them into the proper positions of the old power supply 9 and 3 pin connector shells. :dunno
