Product: Hp Compaq dc7600 SSF
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP

I have a dc7600, and I wanted to upgrade the psu but I realized that the motherboard power connector was proprietary. It had 24 pins, but was much smaller than normal atx. Is there some kind of adapter I can buy? As you can imagine, getting support for a 15 year old pc is tough. I don't care if the psu fits or anything like that. I just want to use a psu that isn't 240w. Thanks for your help!

@WindowsXpGaming,

It would be helpful to know wattage. The dc7600 CMT has a 365W.   Here is that motherboard layout.

The wattage is 240w. That is max wattage, which makes it worse. I have the small form factor version of the machine, so the psu and motherboard connector is custom, which means upgrading is a pain. If there is a upgraded version of this psu or if there is some sort of adapter, please let me know. Thanks!
