Re: A4000T PSU - should I replace it?

I was reading some horror stories on the interwebs about the original A4000T PSU getting too hot and damaging motherboards.... Is this an urban legend or real?

I do have access to a few AT PSUs.... will these physically fit in an A4000T case without any modification? Will 200watts be enough?

Thanks!

I am also thinking of upgrading my A4000T PSU, but my reason is different.  I have a CyberStorm 604e PPC @233Mhz & 68060 @50Mhz with a ton of Zorro cards completely filling every slot for a Video Toaster/Flyer setup, plus the standard high density floppy drive and an internal ZIP100 optical floppy and an internal Iomega Jaz 1gb drive and finally one or two CD-ROM drives.  With all of that installed inside my A4000T I have been worried about the original PSU not being powerful enough and have thought of replacing it with a good quality 400watt PSU that will fit that also has good cooling characteristics.  So, I am open to suggestions on which brand to choose and which model.
