Is this power supply compatible with a 1 slot?

So I fried my power supply this afternoon while hooking it up to the neo

I accidently switched the + and the - inputs for the power switch. Browsing ebay, I came across this power supply and thought the price was great. Will this work with my 1 slot?

Also, how does one of these turn on? is there an on/ off switch usualy, or do I need to build one?

Thanks!

Yep, that will work fine.

Typically they aren't equipped with a power switch and one will need to be wired in line on the AC input.

So how do I do that? I have a 4 prong switch from the old PC power supply that I just fried, will that work? If so, how do I hook it up?

Well the super ghetto easy way to do it is probably just to just hook it up to a power strip with a switch.

That said, if you test the old switch with a multimeter and it still works right, it should handle switching this PS with no problem. Just make sure you don't switch up the leads this time.

Failing that, Radio Shack sells AC rated switches for pretty cheap.
