mmmmm toasty!

Everyone pretty much covered everything already, make sure you get a power supply that has the correct motherboard plug and SATA if you need it aswell.

Yeeeup, I wouldn't even bother trying to replace the fan in it, just replace the whole power supply. But it's pretty difficult to tell if anything else fried until you do. I'd look at all the caps on the mobo and make sure none of them look like they are bulging.

i highly recommend you going to newegg.com or going to pricewatch when you order one, i got my raidmaxx from new egg and its very important to match the plugs if not sir.... it could melt some things that you don't want to melt. look at your old power supply and it should tell you how many watts it was, and match it with one of the ones on the websites and make sure it look like the same bolt pattern. either one of the two sites should have one for a really good price.
