Why not just dish out a few bucks ($40-$100) and go buy a new power
supply and fat case with plenty of room to work? I bought a Scorpio case
with five cooling fans, 420W power supply for $60. The case is great, 4
x 5.25 drive bays, 2 x 3.5 disk drive bays, and 4 x 3.5 internal bays.
Well worth the investment in time saved and productivity.

I bought an adapter at Fry's for a few bucks.  It connects one of the
4-pin "disk drive connectors" to the the motherboard's "P4 connector".
