Can anyone point me in the right direction, preferably the best deal, in purchasing a new Power Supply for a Powermac Quiksilver.

Whoa!

$200 for a Quicksilver power supply??? That is insane, even factoring in the age of the make and model of the machine...

Tell me about it. Check out the prices on some of those G4 machines. Those guys must be hitting the pipe! Insane indeed!
 
you may be better off trying to repair your existing one (assuming you have a dead one, and are not trying to put together a frankinmac). Try and find someone who can diagnose the failed component and have them replace it.

those power supplies are rare and expensive
 
Did you check eBay already ?, maybe someone is selling parts or dead qs at reasonable prices...:apple:
 
There are a ton of quicksilver power supplies on ebay. Like this one

Or just go to the components section for Apple's on ebay and look at the list of powersupplies available for the quicksilver.

You may also be able to hack on from a Digital Audio or Mirror Drive Door since they have the +28V leads. You would just have to swap some cables around since the pinout changes.

I think the MDD one has a higher wattage rating than the Quicksilver
