Arctic Cooling distributor?

    So the PSU in my Arctic Cooling Silentium T Pro case blew last night. (Went out with a "bang". haha.) Unfortunately, it's a proprietary design and if I'm going to continue to use the same case, I need to get my hands on a replacement PSU like the following:
    http://www.arctic-cooling.com/webshop/product_info.php?cPath=72_76&mID=351

    My problem is "international" shipping (from HK) costs more than the PSU and I haven't had any luck finding a distributor in Ireland. I bought the case/PSU set through Elara in 2007, but they don't seem to carry it anymore.

    Does anyone know where I can order one of these replacement PSUs from within the EU? I'd hate to have to buy a new case as well, having made the mistake of going proprietary here.

    Deano, its a 500W Arctic Cooling, can't remember the model offhand but while its ATX format it has a proprietary chassis and mounting method, and by extension the case can't take an ordinary ATX PSU either without extensive Dremel Time :o Don't see any for sale anywhere either! :(

    I haven't, but that's a good idea. If I can get a replacement PSU on the cheap, grand. But I'm not liking being locked in to a proprietary setup, so I may just spend the few extra quid on a new case and standard PSU.

    In defense of Arctic Cooling, I've no other complaints. It was advertised as a quiet config, and it's been exactly that for the last three years. I've likely just been unlucky with the PSU here.
