I tried to get a power supply for my Gateway G-6, manufactured 12/97, and found out that Gateways ATX power supplies are proprietary in dimensions. I could not find an ATX power supply that would fit the Gateway case. Mine was a 230 Watt PS, and I wanted at least 250 watts. Ultimately I had to call Gateway who would not sell me anything but a duplicate of my 230 Watt PS. It cost twice as much as a generic 250 Watt supply, and cannot be used in anything except a Gateway case. Perhaps the e-machine PS may fit, but you won't cut it with 145 watts. Get a non-proprietary case and a regular ATX PS, you'll be glad you did.
