PSU for Dell Dimension 8300?

[Justin]

I got a friend who has a Dell Dimension 8300. He wants to upgrade the CPU and RAM but he'll eventually upgrade the PSU as well. I know the case isn't an ATX so are there PSU's for non ATX cases? Could someone link me to a site?

these are all micro atx

 

[Justin]

are those what dell computers use?

i actually did a google search on dell psu's and found some more powerful ones than the stock 250-305w they usually come with.

It doesn't have to be a dell PSU.

does he have one of those thin Inspiron desktops?

another question. he wants to upgrade to a Q6600 with the mobo it came with. It's a Socket 775 that came with a P4 3.2ghz. Would it run a Q6600 considering the mobo is oldschool already?

im not shure find out the model number or somthing and see if it supports it but you say its "oldskool" aready so probably not

meh nevermind. i convinced him to do a build from scratch rather than upgrading his dell machine. his mobo was really old and only supports 775 P4's.
