PSU for ageing computer
 
Hi
I'm in the process of updating my ageing computer and have a new mobo and CPU but it seems I need a new PSU as well, as my old one doesn't have a 4 pin socket to power the CPU. Does anyone know of a supplier? I'm in Tavira.
Thanks for your help
John

Go to the computer shop up by the railway station, just down from Vodaphone, they will help you out

Hi Joao
Thanks for that.
I've been there before and their prices are too high.
The trouble is the computer case is old and so is the monitor and keyboard, so I'm reluctant to spend too much on it, but thanks for the suggestion

There a very few inexpensive places in Portugal for computer parts. Why not put an advert in the Algarve 123 newspaper and see what response you get

Best to ring them first Appinformatica are a group of franchise shops not always carrying a lot of stock, my local shop however always has cases in stock. I'm posting this from a computer built using some of their parts and some sourced in UK.
