The power supply is usually always located at the top of the computer tower, to the back. Whats easy to find is whatever your power cord from the wall plugs into on the back of your computer, is your power supply box. From there, the power is reduced and sent throughout the computers hardware. (You'll also see that its the box with all the wires are coming out of, inside the computer)
