I'm ashamed to say that despite having an electrical engineering degree, I'm not handy!

Too many lectures and too few labs? ;)

And since moving to Montreal, I have discovered one more problem... TV's here don't have scart inputs!

So now I'm at a loss at how to connect to a TV... can anybody suggest a solution for this?

That's the downside of moving to the less developed world :P

They might have component video (3xRCA) and composite video (1xRCA) though.

there is no easy way to convert one,and there is no switch to change them as modern supplies have.
Best bet is buy another 115v 4000 psu or if your handy,a atx psu board can be installed in the stock 4000 psu housing,but its a really tight fit and takes a few mods.

How compatible is the ATX powersupplies in regard to screw holes, mounting brackets, fan and outlet directions etc ..?
(this goes for A2000, A3000 too)

If you go for mini-ATX PSU add some capacitor. They might be unstable by themself.
