Hi Their. you can use the following:

650W non-redundant or 675W hot-plug redundant power.

Taken from: http://www.andovercg.com/datasheets/dell-poweredge-1800-server.pdf
I've had very good luck with:  http://www.serversupply.com in purchasing server power supplies that are no longer available from the manufacturer.  The ones I have got were always NOS (new old stock).

We have also purchased hardware from serversupply with no issues.  You could also try going through Dell.  I would think they would still have the powersupply for the 1800.

Because of your location, Dell's support and parts availability will not be what it would be in the U.S., but finding parts should not be a big deal.  You can't use just any power supply, as they are a special shape and have special connectors unique to the 1800's design.  A quick Google search should get you some place where you can purchase the right one.  http://impactcomputers.com and http://serversupply.com are both good places that have many Dell parts in stock.

PowerEdgeTech:,

please advise any of the cooler master power supply that can be use on 1800, thanks
in doing a little research, the Poweredge 1800 shipped two different power suppiles, aside from the redundant/non-redundant variations.  They came with either a 650 watt or a 670 watt.  If you could provide the part number from the Power supply that works appropriately, we could more easily assist you in obtaining one.

I think, after the discussion in this thread, that #35167765 is the correct response.
Just curious as to why 35167765 wouldn't be correct.  His question was not one of whether a PSU would fix his issue, but simply which were compatible.  The only guaranteed compatible parts are Dell parts, which was the answer given, with links to those parts.  
I second PowerEdgeTech's comment.  35167765 should be awarded credit for providing the best answer.
