I bought a brand new Emachines with a Pentuim 4 and it came with a low 200W power supply. Does anyone know where I can get a 300W power supply that will fit my Emachines case?

It came with a 200w power supply for a Pentuim 4. The minimum for a Pentium 4 is at least 300w. That's why my brand new computer keeps restarting itself. Half of the Emachines that they make have faulty power supplys!
