Hi
I too had a PSU failure with a NV+, which I replaced with an alternative, some time ago. However rather than modifying the PSU's pinout itself, I purchased an ATX extension cable ( Male to Female) and modified the pinout on that. This had the advantage that any future failures I can simply swap the PSU for another without worrying about pinouts. It also extends the replacement PSUs power cable overcoming the requirement for it to sit outside the box.
The PSU i used was a Seasonic 250W 1U server rack PSU cost me £25 (uk) on ebay.
Hope that helps someone.
