yes, but i would spring for a 250 or 300 watt. it will produce less heat and not have to work as hard to power the system.

The one I listed is 350 watts, is that not even better?

oh, yeah yeah yeah. I just kinda did a quick load up on my smartphone to make sure you linked a flex atx supply but noted you posted referring a 125 watt ps. yeah, 350 is just fine.
also, depending on what kind of IEC plug you have that plugs into the supply (some were straight and others are bent at a 90 degree angle)... you may have to flip your power supply upside down (label to the back) to get it to fit right without interfering with other things. it seems the supply is standard but where the plugs are and how they orientated are not. I would not recommend disassembling the power supply to try and turn the IEC socket around if it's indeed facing the wrong direction......it's a mess in those things.
replacement supplies are often a tiny bit thinner than the original as well, you may have to shim the L shaped bracket with some foam tape to hold the supply tightly in place.

The plug is straight. Replacement PSU is ordered. Both caps and PSU should be here by Friday. Hopefully I'll be able to work on it this weekend.

there are 1 or 2 boards that are nearly identical you can swap for (same chipsets and all), but at this point in time, EVERYTHING is used. it's not going to have much life left in it.

What other two boards? You know he is using Force and not ION. If there are other boards that work with Force i would like to know for testing purposes. >:D

I found some boards after some digging (trying to find alternate motherboard because of merits price for replacement at the time)... that used the same audio chipset and northbridge a while back. I should have the paper buried someplace.
I believe one of them was weird off brand clone (sorta like pegtron or some crap like that)
in any case, These boards are pretty tough, i think i've only had to trash 2 or 3 in the last 6 years. it's mostly the CPU's that crap out due to overheating, and the caps blowing out.
