Hi
Please help. I cant get a straight answer to this question ; will a standard power supply fit my desktop pc? Info at http://www.packardbell.co.uk/products/at-home/desktops/istart/istart-1359/productsheet-PB49300701-802.html
I was thinking of buying a Corsair 550watt VX Series PSU.
I have upgraded to 1.5gb of ddr2 400/533, 2banks, single channel ram and have fitted a Sapphire Radeon HD 2600 PRO ddr2 512mb AGP graphics card. My current power supply is 250watt from the FSP Group inc. Model no. FSP250-60HEN, p/n 6983860000( cant find it on their website but it is mentioned on other forums ).
P.S. The number on the motherboard is different to that on the Packard Bell product sheet, it is P5VDZ-NVM/S.
Hope you can help.
Bob

Dera Telxon,
The PSU you have linked is FSP250-50LPU - which is not the one in question.
Thanks and regards,

The straight answer is: YES.

Although ATX power supplies conform to various specification
guidelines, there is not, unfortunately, a standard ATX power supply.
To find a suitable replacement power supply for your machine, we would
recommend that you have the following information to hand when making
your purchase:
- You will require a PSU with a 24-pin ATX connector, SATA power connectors, and a 4-pin 12V motherboard connector
- Make a note of the wattage of your existing PSU
- Make a note of the external dimensions of your existing power supply
- Be aware that your PSU has a power connector for speakers. Most PSUs
do not have this, so you may need to purchase a separate power supply
for your speakers. So its not proprietary."

Unfortunately, no. See this link for a picture of your supply: http://www.cwc-group.com/fspgrfsposu2.html . It's considerably longer and narrower than a standard ATC power supply. This is typical of Packard Bell, e-Machines and many others.
Hope this helps!
Nope! Should be just fine. It appears to have the same plugs as your existing supply. The listing also says it includes a 20/24 pin molex plug for the mainboard -- so it should fit just about any ATX mainboard out there. I'd caution you of course about buying from eBay as the item may not be as advertised, but if it's new, it should work great.

Hi again
I have found it . This is the power supply i currently have installed. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/B4188-FSP-FSP250-6...
I think the dimensions are o.k. I'm worried about system compatability. Is the new power supply likely to fry my motherboard.
