    Ok, So i got a 6990m and a 180w PSU. The 6990m is in. Easy.

    Now, I open the box to the 180 PSU. NO wire the connects from the power supply to the wall, so I assume my 120w PSU one would fit, nope.

    Do you think I can pick this up at radio shack or something? Or will I need a specialty computer repair kind of place? I am in U.S.

    I want to check if this baby is working, but going to avoid installing the drivers until I have the 180w PSU going. Thanks!

    You're saying the cord from the brick to the wall is missing? If you don't have one, (and assuming the 180w brick you were sent is a standard clevo part), you can just use a standard PC power cable. It's the same cord you use for monitors/PC power supplies. Any electronics store should sell it if you don't have some lying around.

    If you were sent a non-clevo part though, I can't say what cord it might use. You could always just take it to the store and check the plugs to find one that fits.

    Either way, I'd contact whomever you got the PSU from and ask about the missing cord.

    EDIT: Here's a picture for clarification

    Thanks Malibal. This was shipped directly from Clevo in China. I will swing by a radio shack tomorrow. I have no PCs or monitors in the house somehow :(

    cant have too many cables. Never know when you will need one. Wife gets mad at me for hoarding so much stuff. If they had an IT version of the tv show Hoarders, I would be one it :D
