they are 20-300 dollars. are you sure that that's the problem though? They are not hard to replace.

Do the lights stay on? Does the computer turn on like normal, but you just get a blank screen or do the lights just flicker a couple times and then turn off? Do you hear the fans running?

If the computer turns on and you see the lights on and the fans are running, but nothing happens and you have blank screen, then your processor has most likely kicked the bucket and you'll need a new one.

If the lights just flicker a time or two and you get no activity at all (no fans, no anything), then it's probably your power supply.

Remove the side panel, remove the 4 screws from the back, pull all the wires that are attached to the components, remove the power supply, put the new one in, connect all the wires to the same place as before, screw in the screws and you're done.
