fit a standard PC power supply into a 19" rack

I can't fit a standard PC power supply into a 19" rack enclosure that I have(it's only about 1.5" high). Where can I source a low profile AC/DC power supply that will fit into this enclosure? Also, the fan cutouts on the enclosure are near the right side on the rear panel, so the fan on the power supply would need to mate with this cutout.

Thanks, Bob

Oftentimes all units on a rack are powered by a 1U or 2U independent power supply. What you're calling 1.5" high is actually 1.75" high, and that is 1U (no I don't know what "U" stands for, other than perhaps "unit"). 2U, as you might imagine, is 3.5" high. You'll be looking for power supplies described in those terms. Jameco is a reseller, like Mouser, and their prices are quite high (also like Mouser). Just do a search for "1U" and "power supply".

Many standard PSUs are this size if you remove the case, and bend thee heatsinks over.

Bob,

My suggestion. Don't worry about the power supply. I've used Protocase (I think it's

to build custom rack enclosures. They'll do any height to accomodate your power supply and will put whatever cutouts you need wherever you need them. Price is reasonable and they're quick. It only takes a couple of days to get my enclosures done.
