Hi, my HP Pavillion 8576C came with a pathetic 110W PS. I dont have the juice to upgrade anything. Anybody find a power supply solution? Thanks:disgust:

I'm not sure exactly what your mini tower looks like, but I have a mini tower from a HP Pavilion 6350. Right now I have an enlight 250w PSU in it, but I had to do some cutting to get it in there. It sticks out the back of the tower about 2" and I put brackets on it to keep it secure. I'm don't know if they make 250W PSUs for this kind of case, but it is a small case. I finally ended up getting a more spacious and standard case.
Here is a pic.
(I had to chop up that upper bracket pretty bad, I had an antec 300W PSU in it before. )

Really, if you want to upgrade the PS, you would probly be better off going with a new case. Get an Inwin Midtower, 250w PS [mine came w/300w for extra $10]. Will provide much better cooling than that wimpy HP case you got. BTW, I have the HP6630 and plan to migrate it to my old main tower. Much bigger, like at least 2x. gl

I know this is not what you want to hear but...........
Buy yourself a good name brand motherboard, case and powersupply. Your upgrading worries will be gone The lowwer end HP systems are not designed to be expandable, or even well built they are made for one thing.......being cheap thats it
