2008 MacPro Power Supply work on a 2006 MacPro ?

[Macsonic]

Hello,

I tried the "search" box before making this thread. Would like to know if the power supply from a 2008 MacPro work on a 2006 MacPro. If anyone has tried this? My 2006 MacPro shut down suddenly and would not turn on. I use an APC UPS plugged on a power surge outlet. The Mac technician who examined the unit suspected it might be the power supply but Apple may not have in stock the power supply for the Ist Gen MacPro.

Thanks. Inputs appreciated.

I'm sure Apple still has PSUs for the 2006 MacPros in stock, but it'll cost an arm and a leg.

You can find them online.

www.macpalace.com (they do carry them, as I've looked in the past).
www.allmac.com, not sure if they carry that P/N. Maybe email or call to be sure.

They aren't cheap though. Nearly $300USD, last I checked.

Likely a few others, as well. Just do a search.
