how easy is it to take a psu out of an old box and put it in a new one? will it fit?

Short answer: not hard.

Long answer: Usually not hard, but this depends. On older (pre-1995) models, a standard ATX powersupply will not work, because ATX was not released to the public until mid '95. In some proprietary computers, the PSUs are different shaped (and wired differently) than regular ones, so you need to be sure you have the right type. Normally, however, you take out a few screws, pull the plug, and pop the new one right in, repeating the above steps in reverse.

Compaq/HP still use standard PSU's right? I don't see why it won't fit.

Some times branded PCs can be a little funny.

I normally stock 1 of the three types of non standard PSU at my shop as you never know when you need them.

You would heave to check if it has any different sizes compared to PSU's from a non-branded PC in your house.

You don't have your own shop, do you?
