I think you need one of the older type ie AT not ATX http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AT-PSU-WOR...-/142163387623

see this at the bottom of the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_...nit_(computer)

I've pulled a power supply out of an old computer we have lying around, and ive managed to get it wired in. Now when i turn the m/c on the screen is coming up all stripey with a bunch of random symbols/ letters on it. Video card maybe??

Either the video card, or the video card is getting junk data.
You're probably better speaking to your board repairers, as now you know what the main problem was, and the machine is now doing something, it may help them track down what has been damaged.

Just spoken with haas, they thought the processor might have dropped it's guts :( it was only out of the m/c for about of a day and we kept the battery attached though?

I don't know the machine at all but if and only if it has a dumb monitor ie RS-232 it could be board rate set wrong with showing random symbols. If its a VGA type I take it you have unplugged the monitor and card and refitted.

Have you tried asking over on Practical Machinist forum?
If you're going find somebody online who knows about these machines, then that's the place you're likely to find them.
