Replacement required for DPS 220UB-1 A

Blue Lou · 19 Feb 2011 at 20:42

I have a Acer Aspire X1700 desktop computer.

The original power supply unit is a Delta Electronics DPS 220UB-1 A. Unfortunately it no longer works (the PC no longer switches on so I presume it is a PSU problem, I have replaced the fuse in the plug!) and I need to find a replacement.

The DPS 220UB-1 A is an uncommon shape and slim profile so an ordinary PSU fan will not fit into the case.

Please could somebody recommend a replacement/upgrade for this PSU (I may consider upgrading the graphics card in the future so upgrading now removes the need to replace the PSU twice. Ideally, I'd like to purchase a new product with a warranty. The most graphics intense game I own is Ghostbusters (steam version).

Thanks in advance for any help!

I have been looking at the FSP250-50GUB model and think that will be suitable.

Thanks for your help

The FSP250-50UG arrived today. It's the wrong size and the connectors are different

Dimensions are 200mm x 91mm x 54mm

It's apparently a propriety PSU and I'm unable to find a direct replacement online.

I bought a laptop and I forgot that I still had the PC. Acer wanted £80 to just to look at it.

Looking at the specifications: http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/desktop/0000/Acer/AspireX1700/AspireX1700sp2.shtml

Do you think I'm better off paying to have it fixed or just buy a new PC?

I only want to play Steam games on it. The most demanding game on my account is Saints Row the third.
