Please don't tell me anything about profits and he could do better on this "ext". I just need some answers, as mine wasn’t too great for him. The PSU he has now is 300w (Not very strong) He just not sure if the dang PSU will fit in there.

I would really appreciate some answers or some Tips (Not anything related to profits, he’s made his mind) I just want to get the damn E-Mail on the way and be done with it. I appreciate the help. It's hard to help when I'm not there in person because I’m hours away and what I have is allot different from his rig. Any more information needed don’t hesitate to ask I typed this out pretty fast.

Could you post a Dxdiag and model number of his system? Even if everything could fit in the case, the motherboard may not have the required ports, the CPU may bottle neck the card, and a thousand other things could make this not a worthwhile investment.

Yeah give me like 10 maybe 5 min and I'll see what I can get.....

Edit:

I'm confused.

You want to know if the card he's going to buy will fit in the case but you didn't tell us what card it was.

The link in your first post is for 620W PSU. Are we trying to figure out if that will fit or if the GPU will fit?

Ya woops my bad. Yes I would like to know if the PSU would fit in there as a replacement. But if any other information could be said like what All-Star mentioned. I would be glad hear.

The PSU whould fit as its ATX the average size.

This should cover the basics.

The dimensions for the PSU you linked are http://www.seasonicusa.com/M12II-Bronze.htm. Are you able to open his tower and just measure his current PSU? That's what I did when I replaced mine.
Edit: Ok, the psu you linked should fit. You're friends tower is a mid size atx and the psu you want is a standard atx. Any standard at psu will fit any mid size case. I remember learning that now doing my own research earlier.

Most 300W PSU's are around 16.5 x 22.2 x 10.2 are they not?

Best thing to do is take measurements within the case to make sure the PSU fits. However, being that this is a more modern HP mini-tower desktop, Most standard ATX PSUs should fit...it'll be tight, but should fit. I take it you want a modular PSU to deal with less cables in that tiny case?

I doubt you could fit a large power hungry card in that case, so 620W would be excessive here IMO. The http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151093&Tpk=m12%20520w would be plenty. Even the http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256065 would be sufficient and it's a compact unit
