Default MiniATX and Mid-Tower ATX

Got a few questions and need them answered. I have a MiniATX as my main PC and going to buy a Mid-Tower ATX for about $20....

Will a Mid-Tower ATX PSU fit in a MiniATX?

Will a MiniATX Mobo fit in a Mid-Tower ATX?

Yes, and Yes. I put a full-sized ATX PSU in my minitower without a hitch.

it depends on the exact minitower whether you can put a full ATX PSU in it. Your HP: possibly, i need a shot of th back panel to determine.
