I recently bought a small computer while I was at an estate sale for super cheap thinking that I would try creating a home server. I figured worst-case it was a loss of $10.

Anyway, the computer has no major manufacture's (HP, Dell, Lenovo, Compaq, Gateway, etc) logo anywhere on the case, which leads me to believe that it was a custom-made machine. However, the side of the case has an OEM Windows Vista Business CD key sticker on it, which would be odd for a custom machine.

Long story short, it's missing the power cord. I've talked with the folks at FSP Group (the makers of the power supply) and they told me that I needed to purchase this supply:

The above link includes a whole new power supply as well as the cord/block thing. I've scoured the interned looking for just the AC/DC power adapter to save me some money, but can't find anything. Also, the power supply in the link have a 4-pin connection to the actual computer box, whereas mine has a single pin, which confuses me a bit.

Anybody know if this was a mass-produced machine for some school or business and/or where I might find just a power block/cord for this computer?

Computer Specs (I think):
Case - Chenbro PC781
MoBo - Intel D945GCLF2
CPU - Intel Atom D510
PSU - FSPXXX-5DD01

 
I would imagine it was mass-produced - is there anything else on the case? A serial number perhaps?

Those PSU ideas are/were pretty rarely used in custom builders as far as I know.

Can you take some pictures of the unit itself, especially where you'd be plugging in a power 'block'?

These things can sometimes be ran from laptop power 'blocks'.....you might be able to find a universal adapter for cheaper than the $75 (they usually come with various 'tips')
