Hello!
I have an HP Slimline 450-a100nv desktop and I want to replace the current HHD drive with a new SSD drive.
Because I don't have the desktop in my possesion, I have a few questions to make.
Will it fit in the current case for a drive in the chassy?
The HHD drive in there is a 3,5 inch or a 2,5?
What should I need if it doesn't fit?
Are there any photos of the inside of the case?

Hello Promenthee and thank you for your reply!
I don't have the pc with me right now because its not actually mine, its a friends pc and he lives far away from my city, but I'll visit him very soon.
The reason that I need those informations is because I want to make this as a gift for him and I want to go there and install it the same time.
If there are any photos from the inside of the case, it would be very helpful.
Thank you!
