I used this power supply.

Almost the same size, Same pin out.

You had to shorten the standoffs in the cage. I used a large drill bit to bring them down.

And I had to ream out the holes in the power supply just a tad.

No pin out change.

It seemed to work fine, except the old power supply took out a couple boards with it. So I had to send it in. It ended up with a "Meridian" power supply. So I can't fully qualify this power supply works well.

George,

Where there a model number on the new "Meridian" power supply installed in your G68?

Thanks

Jeje,

Yeah, but I don't have it. I did take a peek but they put a new smaller cage around it and I wasn't about to start taking it that far apart. Sorry. Maybe someone knows it. I expect it's the same one in new shipping G68's. It may be the one you used and it is smaller.

Is the voltage output adjustable on that PSU?

Seems it is: http://www.xppower.com/pdfs/SF_ECM40-100.pdf

I have a friend with a G98 with a failing power supply.
Is it a similar procedure to replace the supply in the G98?

The current power supply for the G68 is an XP Power ECM40UT31.

The original power supply was a Universal Microelectronics UP0653S-01.

The XP Power supply may very well be more reliable, but it is also has a lower power rating, runs considerably hotter, and IMO sounds significantly worse. FWIW.
