Is it possible to repair an old PSU? If not, where can I get a good replacement PSU for a vintage computer? (lemmy.ca)

I've found 2 vintage desktops from around the 2000's era. One already had a broken power supply that won't even turn on (and thankfully didn't break anything else). The other desktop had a working ATX PSU, but it just blew out a few days ago. The PSU is an Elitech LC-B450E and I believe it has 4 molex connectors.

Now, I was wondering, would it be possible to repair the PSU (not that I would do that myself because I don't even know how to solder)? If not, would it be possible to get a relatively new one that's compatible?

Well if it’s a prebuilt like a Dell a lot of those used non-standard connections
