Comment: Hi! ok, i'm trying to find a new power supply to go from 180w to at least 230w. the part number is FSP180-50NI(V) and i don't know how to find a compatible one. I know it's an ATX and it's a specific size too (to fit in there). I tried googling it in many ways, couldn't find the info i'm looking for. Thanks!

Reply: (edit)Is there something wrong with your 180W PSU? Older HP PCs used proprietary PSUs with proprietary wiring. If you have such a system, you will need to buy an HP compatible replacement unit. If you install a standard "off-the-shelf" PSU in a proprietary system, you will fry the system. Make sure to do your homework before you buy anything.

Reply: (edit)"Make sure you do your homework before you buy anything" haha... exactly what i'm trying to do :) Nothing's wrong with it except that i'm gonna add a video and sound card to it, and i wanted to make sure that i wasn't gonna fry the motherboard by doing so. I'm lucky i could talk to someone that told me there shouldn't be any problems as it is right now considering that i ain't using the whole power supply ever and i'm gonna take out one of the hard drives i am not using at the moment. Thanks for your answers!

Reply: (edit)Thank you very much worldlibrary! I appreciate that. You're right, it is an exact replacement for mine! Thing is that it's not exactly cheap, so i might just wait for that, but i'm keeping it in my bookmarks. Thanks again!
