New card

[[SCUM] FeRoL]

Unless my freind at HP can get me a meatier PSU I'm gonna send the sodding thing back and wait a little longer with what I've got.
Then build me a proper kick ass machine...... as long as the woman does'nt find out

does your Proliant (i thought you told me proliant at one point...) have an oddly shaped PSU?

What's you HP's make and model?

I think it just has a slimline PSU the model is xw6000 workstation duel 2.8 xeon cpu. thing is I don't wanna end up spending a heap of cash on this machine if poss, as it's already a few years old.
Any suggestions welcome

Do you have access to an old ATX case? If so, just rebuild the fecker in the ATX case and bang you can use a new ATX power supply.

Question: How are you fitting the video card in your slimline???

McPhill the case isn't slimline as such just slimmer than a standard ATX (HP proprietary)

Anyone have anything to say about these PSU's

I know nothing about the warranty if it blows. If you can fit a standard ATX power supply that should sort your problems 100%; however an 880Watt PSU might be over kill for an AGP system. if you map your wattage needs of all current components excluding external USB peripherals, I think you'll see what PSU wattage you'd need.

Was thinking that if I'm buying a PSU may as well get one I can use in my next PC

Thought - How many pin connector on your motherboard? I'm guessing your motherboard will have a legacy 20-pin female connector for the PSU and the new PSU will only have a 24-pin male connector. You'll either need a 20 to 24 pin adapter or you'll need to make sure the PSU has a "4-pin break-away" section to fit your legacy board.
