Upgrading HP 3800+

Not open for further replies.
I assume it has some 250 -300 watt psu, so I will most likely upgrade that as well.

I think I saw some thread around here about psus.. I'll go look around, but if anyone can suggest a decent one that inst too pricey, that would be nice :].
 
if your going to change your PSU you have to change your case because HP PSU only fits in HP comps. HP only makes PSU up to 350W(thats what they told me).
 
Well I got off my butt and checked inside, it is indeed a 300 watt power supply... well that sucks, I don't really want to have to buy a new case for it as well.... hmm...

Dont suppose there are atx cases that come with a decent 350w psu for about 60 bucks are there? lol...

=/

Any chance I can just shove the psu in? make it fit X]

That used to be true, but it no longer is. Newer HPs use standard PSUs. A 3800+ is fairly new, so it should be fine. Saladfork can always measure his PSU and compare it to the measurements listed on NewEgg.

Gosh I'm dumb. On second inspection, its actually a pci-e slot... oops lol.

Anywho, I'm about ready to order this, what do you guys think? good? yes? no?

is there any reason for you to buy speakers? because you probably wont notice any difference from the logitech speakers compared to generic speakers.
