Is it worth it? a new PSU shouldn't cost you more than 20 euro/ $ whatever part of the world you are in. Unless it has the old 3.3V conectors as well (which would be surprising) in which case find an old 2nd hand one.
If it is making a lot of noise it is probably failing due to dust and/or overheating and the rest of the PSU can't be in great condition either. Sometimes the non-eviromentally friendly option is the best one if you leave the old PSU for recycling , more so.
Good luck.

How does P4 Connector connect to the CD Rom Drive

Hmmm, P4 is usually a designation, for a 4-pin ATX +12 Volt power cable,

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atx12v4

I see though that they have P2 as the 4-pin ATX +12 Volt power cable, and P4 as a SMALL 4-pin Peripheral power cable,

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#floppy

This type of power cable is used on a Floppy Drive, or a Card Reader.
Not a Harddrive, or Optical Drive. (CD/DVD drive)

The Standard 4-pin Peripheral power cable, is used on an IDE (PATA) harddrive, or optical drive,

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#peripheral

Rounder corners on the Top of the plug connector.
Only plugs in, in one direction.

Owner's Manual > Page 109 -
Power Supply DC Connector Pin Assignments

P1 = 24-pin ATX main power cable,

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atxmain24

P2 shown above - 4-pin ATX +12 Volt power cable

P3, P5, and P6 are SATA power cables,

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#sata

If you have a SATA optical drive (CD/DVD drive), the above is the power cable used.

Uses a SATA data cable,

SATA data cable connector on motherboard, is shown below the SATA data cable.

Color does NOT matter

My power went out and when it came back on the computer would not come on

eMachines uses low quality hardware components inside their computers. This is the way they can sell them at budget prices.

One main hardware component is the low quality power supply they use.
A generic power supply made by Bestec. (A generic power supply manufacturer)

(PSU. Power Supply Unit. The type of PSU used is a SMPS.
Switched-Mode Power Supply,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply )

Low quality;
A) Electrolytic Capacitors (Radial Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor)
B) Rectifier Bridge
C) MOSFET/s
D) Wiring is too small in gauge
to name a few of the components.

However IMHO it is also best to check out the Power On switch.
There is a simple test to see whether the problem is a faulty Power On switch, or a faulty Power Supply.

The test involves bypassing the Power On switch. The Power On switch is not involved in this test.
A jumper wire is used on the Soft Power On wire, [ PS-ON ], and a Ground wire in the ATX main power cable connector.

If you bypass, and the Power Supply comes on you have a bad Power On switch.
If the Power Supply does Not come on you have a bad Power Supply.
If you would like to know more in detail on how to perform this simple test, simply post so in a Comment.

The Power Supply used is just a common ATX version.
ATX refers to the Form Factor of the power supply.
Regular size ATX form factor is approximately 6 inches Wide, 5-1/2 inches Long, and 3-1/2 inches Tall. (Height)

There are also differences in the pinout of the ATX main power cable.
Yours may have 20-pins, or 24-pins.
Power Supply's sold now take this into consideration.
Their ATX main power cable can be used as a 20-pin, or a 24-pin version.

[ General example of a 20-pin ATX main power cable, and it's connector,

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atxmain20

Example of a 24-pin ATX main power cable, and it's connector,

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atxmain24

Your motherboard may also require an additional power cable, commonly referred to as a P4 power cable, or P4 ATX 12V power cable, or just ATX 12V.
The actual name is 4-pin ATX +12 Volt power cable,

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atx12v4

If you would like help in finding an inexpensive reliable Power Supply, please post in a Comment.
I will need to know what Model Number of eMachine you have. It's on the back next to the Windows product key, or up on the side of the computer tower.

If you need anything explained that I have stated here, please let me know in a Comment.

Missing power supply. First, thanks to fredtmccoyjr for the boot fix. the BIOS update from A06 to A09 actually allows me to enable boot from harddisk in the settings, instead of settign a useless tick on...

It was the 1996 to 2000 time frame, that Dell was proprietary with the 20-pin ATX main power cable, and the matching connector on the mobo. (MOtherBOard).

Standard 20-pin ATX main power cable, and it's corresponding connector should work, then add the 4 power wires that are missing, in a separate connector.

To expound:

View this standard 20-pin ATX main power cable, and it's respective connector,

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atxmain20

The power wires should be in the same place as your P3 units.

(Match the color codes.
Use the lock tab on the 20-pin ATX main power cable connector, to base where the pins are.

Pins 1 though 20. Match the color code of the wires to the pins, and use the chart to compare)

Here is a view of a standard 24-pin ATX main power cable, and it's respective connector, so you can see what power wires are missing, from the 20-pin ATX main power cable connector, that are present in the 24-pin ATX main power cable connector.

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atxmain24

Note the missing power wires, and what pins they line up with.

The P4, or also stated as the 4-pin ATX +12 Volt power cable, uses two Yellow (12 Volt) wires, and two Black wires, (Ground)

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atx12v4

Since you don't have the male connector, be sure to orient in your mind where the Yellow (12 Volt) wires go, and the Black (Ground) wires go, by looking at the lock tab on the side of the female connector, on the motherboard, and comparing it to the photo.

Transfer this info, to the P4 connector you are going to make.

Where to get the power wires you need? Connect to any extra 4-pin Peripheral power cable wires, or splice off of ones that are in use, is one suggestion.

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#peripheral

The links given are near the middle of the page. Scroll back to the top. Left-click on any power cable connector, that you wish more information on.

More info,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_power_supply

Scroll to the bottom of the page, and look at the chart under the heading -

(20-pin omits the last four: 11, 12, 23, and 24)
