I'm afraid that most of the 5000 series used proprietary power supplies that
can't be replaced with standard psu's.And Compaq didn't make any above 250 watts.It's why I'm looking for a new computer rather than upgrading my 5423US,250 watts just isn't enough .

That may depend on what video card you get,they can demand a lot of power. It's the main reason I'm not upgrading mine,even the older Geforce 4 4200 I have in mine occasionally draws too much power and causes a shut down.Most of the higher end cards require at least 300 watts. |
