I got the replacement power supply from my distributor and it solved the problem. The only obstacle was that I had to remove the motherboard to replace the power supply - not the best of solutions. It should be an easy fix for Antec to build the left side of the tower so that it is possible to slide the power amp out without having to rebuild the entire computer.

I ran the scimark2 benchmark again.
