    Hi all,

    So I have an ibuypower-branded GX700, and I need to replace a couple pieces (not components, though). Specifically the power supply and the screws that hold the large cover on the bottom (the one that covers the CPU, fan, and RAM). If it's possible, I would love to replace the screws with thumbscrews that don't require a screwdriver, as I find myself needing to remove the cover and blow out dust fairly frequently. Does anyone know where I might find these, or at the least know the size of screw I'm looking for?

    Also, the computer end of my power supply is fraying and starting to break. Does anyone know where A. I can find a proper replacement, and B. possibly know of a replacement outlet end of the adapter formatted for UK outlets? The converter in the middle seems to support UK voltage, and if I could just swap out the three-prong end that would make my life infinitely easier. Thanks!
