its a power converter/transformer .. you can get a power strip for about $5.00 with a switch on it so you don't have to crawl under or behind whatever you have your pc on to cut the power .
i don't like leaving converters/transformers plugged in either seems like its a fire hazard

"I was wandering if I could replace the power cord without one that does not use a power pack because this is a desk top. " ... not if you want it to work

It also came with a power pack that looks like it would go with a laptop. It gets really hot to the touch after an hour of use. I unplug it at night because its still pulling power even if computer is off. I was wandering if I could replace the power cord without one that does not use a power pack because this is a desk top.

My PLANAR moniter does not have sound. I think it needs an audio cord. However, it only has usb type outlets on the back that are still available.

Goodwill in Elkin has a bin of them $1 each.

sure what due need?

Is there anyone out there that sells used cords for computers , like power cords and audio cords?
