   As frustrating as it is for you, I'd like to thank you for following up 
and informing us of your findings.  I was unaware of the changes in ATX 
specifications which would make upgrading/replacing a U5/U10's power 
supply tricky at best.  As a fairly active advocate of SPARC systems 
(and owner of both a U5 and U10), I'm glad to have that extra bit of 
knowledge.  I only wish I'd known it before, to save you the added stress. 
:(
   Thanks Ben!
