Anyone know where I can get an old ATX power supply with a power switch? - GoFuckYourself.com

I need an old ATX power supply with an on/off switch. The new power supplies don't have the switch because they're turned off and on by a 5 volt signal sent my the PC motherboard. Anyone know where I can get one of the old ones? All I'm seeing on Ebay are new ones since the old ones are pretty much worthless. I need one so I can run it outside a computer to power some parts in a MAME cabinet.

I know it's possible with some wiring, but if you saw the insane wiring that's already in this cabinet you'd know why I don't want to wire anything else if I don't have to.
