Question about Prebuilt sony computers...

[foundshogo]

Hey guys. So I am upgrading my video card and I need a new power supply.

But someone told me that "That case uses a Sony compact PSU. You can't get those off the shelf, meaning that you'll have to upgrade the case as well."

he was talking about this case.

Now, can anyone confirm this? Or is there anyway to check myself? I really hope that I don't have to change the case because all I really want to do is change the PSU and the video card. (I'd have to buy another computer if that doesnt work, complicated story) If you could help, thanks!

What video card are you planning on putting in the system? You may not need a new PSU based on what you intend to put in it. It looks like it has atleast a 300 watt powersupply in it now and it's probably a decent power supply. Can you read us the specs of the power supply, they should be on a sticker on the side it.

The video card was a ATI x1900xt. Nm though =] Thank you for answering. I measured the case every which way I could and a regular PSU should fit.

That should be a hefty upgrade, have fun with it.
