IT seems they just use four pin molex connectors. I got one to replace one of the ones I got in my randode kit (*Awesome Kit BTW!* )from a site i found on Vastech in

I'm using 2 different brands and the connections are the same. From the research that I've done on computer sites, I think that any brand will work.

The only difference I have found was on the power input to the circuit board. I did find a couple that had the + and - reversed. This will blow the inverter if you hook them up wrong. It was only one brand that did it that way and it was from a local electronics store so I don't think it would be a widespread thing.
