yea....agreed..i just wanted to see if i could find the psu....figure out the form factor and let him know a good one to get....hey onder...any way you can measure the psu for us...tell us how long, wide and deep it is...also..if you have a digital camera..can you post a picture of what the back of it looks like...that way we know what to recommend? lol.....as far as adding extensions onto the powersupply..that's a bad idea..it can lead to bad power which can fry things on the inside, faulty connections and is a huge fire hazard...i really wouldn't recommend it unless you are highly experienced in doing this kinda stuff......so if u wanna do it that way you can..but if you wanna get one that actually fits and is the right size..just give us the info I asked and we'll help you pick out one that will fit right . later

/edit.....onder..you could get a 600 watt psu with a wicked high amperage and it would be fine....those ratings are just the max amount of power the psu can supply, however if your computer only needs a fraction of that...then the psu will only supply what the computer needs and no more! Personally I don't think you need to go crazy on a psu because of the computer...you do not have the option to upgrade like a desktop would so you don't need to go with an insane 600 watt psu because you'll never need that much...i'd recommend from a 200 to a 250 watt psu from a decent company and I think you'll be much happier..but again..without the size and stuff of your psu..we can't help you pick out the right one...sorry..cross posted w/ jp
