My power supply has had its day. I have 2 power supplies I was given from scaped PCs. Can I use any of these supplies, or is there special specifications to follow?

When mine went I went to the local computer shop and got a replacement for £15-00 brand new! Most are interchangable size for size if the plugs are the same.....

Depends on power of PSU..

As above, what Spec is ur PC and what power are the PSU's?

Some older PSU's do not come with the V core plug that some motherboards need to power it but there not expensive like bilsat said.
