My question is, are there any Power supply units out there to upgrade my Dell OptiPlex GX270 small desktop computer from its 210 watt PSU to something say 400 watts that would enable me to run my new nVidia GeForce 6200 A-LE 256MB Low-profile AGP video card?
I've looked around on the internet and I have found none so far that would fit into this specific model of the GX270 series as is shown on the dell website (Documentation) where my model is listed as the Small Destop Computer. This is perhaps a better example of what my PSU looks like in real life.(eBay: Dell GX270 210W Power Supply N1238 HPU2106F3 (item 280108045615 end time Apr-30-07 13:57:42 PDT))
So does anyone know of a PSU out there that I can upgrade to or am I stuck with my 210 watt PSU in which I would be better off buying a new computer console if I wish to play games on it like World of Warcraft that has a minimum video card requirement of nVidia GeForce 2 class or higher?
Also, If I can't upgrade my PSU, is there perhaps a lower class video card I could go for that would be good enough to run World of Warcraft and that my 210 watt PSU would be able to handle?
