I have a motherboard that I bought off from a vintage computer market online. It got here a few days ago, and the problem is that the power connector is very specific and proprietary.

Then I was able to find the right PSU on eBay. It is an HP Vectra 286 "ETX-661E16M" PSU. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-0950-2035-ETX-661E … =p2054897.l4275

But the price is really wacky ($60), and I wonder if there is a cheaper listing for it or an exact alternative, or if anybody has it and would like to sell it to me. Normally I would ask VC forums for that, but I currently have a post delay.

That is a "Full AT" style power supply (or tower). http://www.pcguide.com/ref/power/sup/form_AT.htm
They sell for about $60 on ebay...

Uhhhhh.... No. That one has a different pinout, which is 6 pins together. The power supply I need has to match 19 pins, with a keyhole on the 12th pin.

I'd try to find the pinout of that... and perhaps make an adapter cable so you could use an ATX PSU... That might be cheaper and save you from headaches if the PSU you buy breaks in the future. (I say ATX because I'm guessing this proprietary conector needs more pins than AT because it needs a 3.3V line, which AT PSUs don't provide)
