Where can I get an replacment Power Supply for Viao PCV-2232
I have been looking every where for a GOOD replacement power supply for an Sony VIAO PCV-2232.
I found one on google but they wanted like $150 bucks for and it was used.
Is there any out there or some 3rd party PSU that will work and is not going to POOF in like 3 days?

It is not a standard size ATX PSU case. That is the problem.
If there's a part number on it you should be able to find it on Sony's parts listing page:

I tried looking for a parts breakdown/list from Sony. I couldn't find one for your model. Tried various ways, most I could get out of Sony's web page is a listing of accessories, of which the psu is not one. May have been able to find the part if I were a dealer or "authorized warranty service center." Why Sony doesn't have an easily accessible parts list for their models, I don't know. I'm actually quite disappointed with Sony. I'd suggest contacting their support department and asking them:

Is the pinout a standard ATX pinout? If so, you may simply need an SFX power supply ==> post the dimensions of the current power supply.
get a power supply with TruePower

Garycase,
Funny thing Is I was thinking this the same time I made that last post. That perhaps moving the stuff over.
This gives me issues with the COA sticker how ever. Not suppose to "PEEL IT" But I guess we can keep old case in the closet in case needed.
Thanks
You're most welcome.
The size should be 6" x 3.5" x 5.5"
The motherboard connector should match what's shown here:

... or possibly (I'm fairly sure your system's old enough that it will NOT have a 24-pin connector, but just in case ...): http://pinouts.ru/Power/atx_v2_pinout.shtml
As long as the pinout & size are correct, you can use any good ATX power supply. I prefer Seasonic supplies ... but they may be a bit pricier than you'd like. Antec also has some good units for a bit less $$ Whatever you buy, I'd get a unit with more capacity than your current unit ==> it's always better to be using a relatively small % of the PSU's capacity.
