Video card upgrade

I want to upgrade the video card in my a6622f machine to a Nividia 8800 GT OCX and it looks like I'll need a new power supply. The spec's say I need at least a 425w supply but I can't find anything that is compatible. Does HP make a bigger power supply for this PC? If not, where can I get a power supply that will work?

Re: Video card upgrade

I would try newegg.com and search "hp power supply". I'm not sure if you have that special mini power supply or not.
 
Also look it up on amazon or ebay.
 
Hope that helps.
 
BTW: Great video card choice.

Re: Video card upgrade

New Egg had many power supplies. However, the sizes were slightly larger than my box would handle. I did find a guy who was quite helpful though at JustPowerSupplies.com and he hooked me up with a 550w that should fit and it will be here by Tuesday!!
 
Now if I can just get the video card ordered and installed by Thanksgiving!?!?!?
