I have a Dell 1800fp monitor which I recovered from the trash at work.
 I know what is wrong with it and would like to get the part, however
it seems impossible to find.  Repair shops must be able to get these
parts somehow, whether from the manufacturer or made/repaired from
someone else.  I have had no luck, however, with Dell.  I spoke with
their sales, tech support, spare parts, and electronics departments
and they said they do not manufacture this item any longer and don't
have parts for it...  But they were more than happy to give me a
discount on a new monitor.

The part I am searching for is a working internal power supply for
this monitor (new or refurbished/repaired), a Dell 1800fp.  I am too
impatient to wait for another to come on eBay (I won an auction but
got refunded because the seller didn't actually have the item).

Here is a link to the item I won on ebay, it should be the exact part I need:

Here is a number off of the circuit board which looks like it may be a
part number, it's written on the board like so:
p/n:6870T445D10

Can anyone find where I can purchase this item for around $60 or less?
 I am willing to remove it myself from an otherwise broken monitor, as
long as the power supply is good.  I would also be willing to send the
part away for repair, if the price is right.

Here is a link to a broken moniter on ebay(around $30):

Thanks for the link.  I am watching eBay and saw this item,
unfortunately the current bid is over $30 and is likely to go higher
before the end of the auction, plus the shipping prices is grossly
inflated which adds another $30.  I may still bid on it though,
because I'm getting desperate!  I do have a search for this monitor
saved in eBay and get updates as new items get listed, of course I'm
anxious to get this part.

Could this be it?: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5168437773&category=174

no, wait. scratch that last comment.
