I'm building a retro gaming PC starting with a Gateway 2000 486/33 case and AT motherboard. This Gateway case has a structure that requires the power connector to be located beneath the fan:
I bought a "used but tested" Power Tronic TK 4230DC taken from a Gateway 2000 486 tower that fits perfectly (pictured above), but the fan doesn't turn when powered on. It appears to power devices fine, however. Can I replace this fan, if so, can someone link some instructions and a place to buy the fan?
I can't seem to find many PSUs online that don't have the power connector beneath the fan, including the StarTech AT PSU mentioned in various Vogons threads (which has been discontinued anyway). Does anyone know where I can find this style of PSU?
Also, I have a second power supply from a different Gateway 486/33 system I'm working on. It's an Astec AA 14500: https://imgur.com/lB8oGd8 This unit is quite dead (sputters briefly then turns off), but these old units with switches on the side are hard to find. I was thinking someone on this forum might be interested in repairing it for me, for a fee!
