Hi I have a problem and i hope you answer my question. I have a Compaq Presario pentium III model187498-001(older), processor Intel and the power supply is damage must to be replaced. The power suppy has 250 Watts and i not sure if a new one power supply of 450 or 5000 wats is ok for my computer because nowdays is very complicated to find out a power supply of 250 watts. Thank you so much.

I did some research and the powersupply for that machine is a standard ATX powersupply, so yes just about any off the shelf power supply will fit and work. They may be overkill but that's fine.
HP sells the proper power supply for your machine for $98US as part number 176764-001 . There parts store is at http://h20141.www2.hp.com/hpparts/default.asp?mscssid=CADCEXJ9VLH69MBBGJ8N6SELXQ2C2XP1

Thanks again. I replace the power supply damaged with a new one of 450 Watts and worked.
I have 5 compaq motherboards 187498-001 standard power supplys don't work.... I tried a compaq 161071-001 and 176764-001 and 103748-001 none words.....a regular power supply will boot the board but several things won't work on it like the eithernet and the power button....do you have the pinout for the power supply to fit this motherboard. thanks Oscar
This compaq mobo has 4 more pins on the power supply connector than a regular ATX. What do I need to connect to those extra 4?
