My power supply seems to be making noises.
It's a 12V ATX power supply that served my 2004 motherboard very well.
It has a 2x2 connector and a 2x10 connector.
Is there a replacement that I can get? If so, where?

Sure you can, try newegg or alibaba
You could also try to repair it:

Just be sure the capacitors are drained (press power on after disconnecting the power cable)

They often have a lot of connectors , but it sounds like you're describing a generic 20+4 pin system? If it's a standard (ATX) system, any standard (ATX) PSU should fit.

Not precise correct information. Capacitors not discharged in this manner. Try hoover out vents, make sure leads are connection tight and screws have not lost rubber between case and 12v unit. Sorry my english is not good. Capacitors remain with charge beyond battery pull and reset.

What kind of noise is the PSU making? Buzz, hum, squeak?
If you take the PSU out you can look up what kind it is and can easily find a replacement with the same cable types and wattage.
Some places to check: newegg, tigerdirect and ebay.

Not correct information. How the PSU "connects" to the M/B will give you all the info you need. There is not no need to disconnect PSU from chassis. You will have 1 primary connection to your M/B. That's how you reverse what you need.

Cutting corners and making assumptions is not good for people who are not experienced in replacing parts.

Buy a PSU from Alibaba? You want his/her house to burn down?
