my WINDOWS 98 SE is having psu problems, the fan inside the psu no longer works, and now i have to replace the psu..... i have another computer that i no longer use, and i was wondering what do i have to look for on the psu to ensure that i don't ruin my windows 98 SE compThere is no such thing as a 'Windows 98SE' computer. It is a PC and the OS happens to be Windows 98SE.

First of all: Make certain that the form factor of the PSU complies with that of the case you intend to put it in. It is either AT or ATX unless it is made by a company such as Compaq whom may use different form factors.

Second of all: make certain the amount of Wattage the PSU is capable of providing is the same or more than the one currently installed.

And last but not least: make certain the PSU is undamaged and TRUSTWORTHY. Do not install a PSU that is dodgy or was found lying around a dumpster. If the PSU seems damaged in anyway, discard it. Stick to the above three pointers, take notice of ESD PRECAUTIONS and all should be well. Second of all: make certain the amount of Wattage the PSU is capable of providing is the same or more than the one currently installed.

how would i go about finding that information.... is it on that nice little sticker that is on the psu?
PS i know that windows 98 SE is an OS, but its a lot faster to just type windows 98 SE comp than my computer that is running the OS windows 98 SEThe OS has no influence over the PSU installed.
