[bazza_a]

Hi people can you please tell me if a Compaq dc7600 will take a standard size psu or if I can buy one somewhere that's more powerful than the 365W installed

thanks

Hi,

What is the exact product number for your PC?   I have seen some CMTs model spared with a 500 watt PSU but I don't know if it will work in your PC.

You still want a bigger graphic card per your other post?

Hi again Big_Dave

yeah I'm getting a graphics card when i get paid (only on-board at the moment,just checking to see if a normal size psu would fit, if I do both probably wont have to upgrade for a long while, done alot of browsing on graphics cards and the new ones are pretty low power draw as long as I'm not  aiming too high (which I'm not). there's a few numbers on the PC, I'll give all of them as I'm not sure which one,

on cpu fan  HP P/N: 381865-001

on case  CZC63915VW

Hewlwtt-Packard

inside case 379340-004

CT:LB85B0DSHTIALN

hope this is one of them,perhaps if it is you could inform me which exact model i have as 2 with pentiom D on HP website

thanks

Hi Bazza,

Look here and see if you can find your product number.

bazza_a,

I did the cross-references, and nailed down your DC7600 as a CMT model. The power supply number I found are 381023-001 and 379294-001. The actaul dimensions, according to my sources, is 5.9 x 5.9 x 3.9 inches.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-365W-Power-Supply-PS-6361-4HF-379294-001-381023-001-/220814926987

See here 365W:http://www.thebestpartinc.com/ps-6361-4hf.html

Appears to be 5.9W x 3.9H and 5.9 Depth into case.

Standard ATX PSU's are 5.9W x 3.4H and 5.5" Depth into case.

Big_Dave and Paul are, IMHO,  experts on this situation, having already commented to you, here:

Let me link a 480W PSU for you:http://www.directron.com/s480chdc78.html

Hi Big_Dave

found the product number (RB951ET) after a long search but useful to have,couldn't find 500w psu anywhere on partsurfer although very difficult to navigate

cheers

Hi Wb2001

thanks for the reply, after reading your post and looking around on the net it does seem that my psu is larger than a standard atx psu i really dont understand the thinking behind this, I checked out the link for the 480w but at $65.99 plus postage from the states may be a bit much (they dont even list UK in their postal zones)

thanks

Hi bazza,

You might want to look at this 500 watt power supply that is listed under this DC7600 CMT.  I don't know if it will meet your needs.

iHi Big_Dave

thanks for the link this would be perfect apart from the price (£109) but bookmarked the page anyway, decided on this graphics card Radeon HD6570 for the pc .I believe it's pci ex 2.1 but amd say it'll work in 2.0 also checked with this site
