What PSUs are compatible with my computer?
Hey everyone, I have been planning on upgrading my PSU for sometime but now with my new Graphics card I really want a new one. But I have a problem. I have an eMachine T3256 and I don't know what types are compatible with it. I have looked on the website but they dont tell me anything. Thanks for any comments.

Well, that bestec PSU is a standard ATX psu, so I'd say it is safe to assume that it will fit in your case. The only part I am worried about is whether or not emachines is using any proprietary motherboard connections. I just did a bit of googling, and the best info I could find said that the "newer" emachines can use standard ATX psus no problem, but no specific info on your particular model.
I'd go to their live chat: http://www.emachines.com/support/options.html and ask them directly to be sure. Assuming a standard ATX will work, here is a great one for $40. It has over 30amps on the 12v rails, and 400w of juice which will be PLENTY for your system: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104953 |

You should be able to loosen the mounting screws from the outside, and slide it out (after you disconnected everything inside)
It's the box on the top/left. Standard PSU size by the looks of it  |

Ok thanks. Oh and by the way, does anybody have any ideas on how to keep track of where my connections were? As in putting them on a piece of paper or making a diagram.
