Default Older AT style supply

Anybody know where I can still purchase an older AT style supply with the attached power switch? Does anybody still make these?

I appreciate the responses. I probably should have been more clear in my first post.

These need to be new units. They are not for personal use, but rather for a very specific work application. I also needed to buy a bunch of them.

I managed to find a 230W StarTech supply being sold still by many e-tailers such as buy.com, CDW, newegg...

I have no idea who the OEM is, but beggars can't be choosers I suppose.

What do you need a bunch of new AT PSUs for?

If its just for the ability to power the unit on without the need for a motherboard you can do that with an ATX PSU as well. Just a matter of modding them a bit.

The company I work for designed one of it's instruments using an AT supply. We have since updated the design to support a standard ATX supply, however, we have one customer that has a unique requirement that is more easily supported using the AT supplies. It has more to do with the fact that the AC source voltage is available outside the supply without requiring us to open them up and mod them. It's simply a matter of convenience. Nothing more.

The entire instrument is being redesigned and this is just a stop gap.

As I mentioned in a prior post, I did find the supplies I was looking for. I do appreciate the response though.
