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 must be powerful enough. Why switch it?

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!

Maybe try searching their website or call them with the dimensions. Never looked at an eMachine, so can't tell you about dimensions.
