Found this on ebay (sadly ebay Germany). Looks remarkably like what you might need.

EDIT: I just ordered a "new" (used) power supply from eBay for $16. Should be here next week. Hopefully I can just swap it out and everything will work. If not... I guess it's time to get another PC and set it up... Honestly, I kind of want to do that just because the PC I have is hot garbage and so slow. I'd like things to be snappier, if possible, but I dread setting up Hyperspin/Rocketlauncher/Hypermarquee from scratch. There were a ton of little issues last time...


You can transfer a clone of your SDD, or at least the game and data setup. There may be some OS-related things you need to setup, but probably not as hard as you fear. I don't know what CPU you're running in your HP, but I'm guessing it must be pretty darn old already.

My HPs mostly run Mame OK with late-era Core2duo CPUs, in fact they perform remarkably well, but one reason I don't run hyperspin or anything fancy on them is because some of the features seem too demanding.

That one appears to have the right connectors, but the wrong form factor.

Well, now I'm officially confused - I thought the HP power supply was your spare, not the faulty one.

Sorry... yes, I have an HP Elite Desk 800 as my spare PC and it turns out the broken PC in my cab is also an HP something.

I also have that other more normal looking power supply from another cab that has been malfunctioning (computer is constantly turning off and on rapidly - haven't done any troubleshooting yet).

Found this on ebay (sadly ebay Germany). Looks remarkably like what you might need.

Oh man - yeah, those look like they should work. Same connectors but more power.

This all assumes that the issue is the power supply! I really hope this is an easy fix - I hate not having a working cabinet to play. All 3 in my basement are in various states of not working...  :banghead:

It will "work", but won't fit inside the SFF case.

Yours looks like this, yeah? Slimmer, with the fan sticking out.

Yes - the power supply that I think is fried looks exactly like that. The SFF case is for the spare PC. The PC inside of my cabaret cabinet doesn't even have a case. The power supply is literally taped to the floor of the cabinet with a little block I cut for the other side so it would be level haha.

It's probably time to update the PC but if the power supply I ordered works I'll use it as a band-aid until it craps out again...
