OK, first, I have to acknowledge that I am a relative newbie to hacking snap servers (other hardware is a different story all together), but just how proprietary is the power supply in the 4000 boxes? I seem to remember reading in a thread here that it is a fairly low output unit, about 120W correct? Why hasn't someone replaced it with a better one yet?

Is it that much different from, say, a microATX power supply (after the microATX one is disassembled of course)? I guess I need to get my hands on a 4000 to find out for myself.

Try not to flame me too badly, remember I'm just ignorant fella stumbling around in this intelligent world.
