I have LiteOn PS-5221-9 220W PSU. Dimensions are 8cm, 4,25 cm, 15cm (W, H, D). My case dimensions: (W x D x H): 100 x 269.5 x 367 mm. So replacement PSU probably be the same size as current. I'm looking for 350W at least in order it to be worth replacing. Any suggestions? For example this is small but not sure if small enough?: http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Cases-and-Cooling/SilverStone-ST45SF-G-450W-SFX-Form-Factor-PSU-Review
Not so tempting :S It's only 300W and not in sale in any reliable place. Also a little bigger than current PSU (not much though). Thanks anyway for the suggestion More?
Browse that entire site, they have lots of PSU's for the eMachine, that was just one I picked out of the bunch as it was a bit higher than yours. As to reliable places, are you sure that site is not a reliable place? EDIT: After looking around more, it appears that 300W is going to be about the largest you can get for the eMachine.
With the cost of getting a new PSU as well as the cost of a graphics card. I think you would be better off doing what I mentioned earlier and save for a better computer. Besides the PSU, the motherboard is proprietary as well and you may find it very difficult to mount properly in a different case. If you are lucky, the DVD drive is not proprietary, so that along with the APU and HD should be able to be moved to a new system. You will likely have to reformat the drive to ensure that a new motherboard has all the right drivers loaded on it.
I don't understand what is a proprietary motherboard...? I bought my PC last summer and made a mistake choosing the small case because I could have had a bigger case with same money (did not really needed the small one but did not know that there were so many problems with it when upgrading...did not also know that I would need to upgrade to be honest ). So maybe you can understand why I really prefer upgrading and not all new pc... If I can't move motherboard to a new case then I probably would have to think about it but I still believe it is possible to move the motherboard also if needed and that option is much cheaper than buying a whole new pc.
