I found these for @50c CDN at a local electronics place.  I can order in quantities of 1 or greater.  How can I make a cable to use a standard ATX power supply?  It would be in a tower case so I just need to make a cable.

Try taking the power supply to a local electronic/tv/vcr repair shop. The usual failure is dried out electrolitic capacitors or the variable resistors go bad. If none of the Transistors are blowen from the probable capacitor failure, the repair is pretty quick. Power supplies are pretty generic repairs.

I repaired my A3000 power supply when the variable resistors which set the output voltages went bad.

@metalman

Don't want to repair existing power supply.  It works fine.  I just want to use an ATX power supply in a tower case with an A4000D motherboard...
