Yeah, recap PSU.

I'm not sure how the SE/30 is wired up, but for my IIci, I ended up just chucking out my PSU's innards, and buying a little $20 micro-ATX power supply.  It provided almost twice the power of my original PSU (400w vs 225w), and was small enough that I just zip tied it inside the old case for the IIci power supply, then connected my custom wire harness (basically, I just soldered and heatshrinked the ATX molex cable to my IIci's connector.)  At one point I ran 3 Radius Rockets with max RAM and my DayStar Turbo 040 all at once.  I think there's a picture of it somewhere on the forums. :D

For a little more money (I think about $60) you could buy a 350w mini-ITX power supply.  These are pretty darn small, about 3/5 the size of an LC power supply.

Even smaller (and more money, of course) are the pico sized power supplies.  These are so tiny you can put them anywhere.  They run up to about 300w, which should be more than enough.
