Delta PSU Dimensions looked for

TY for reply.
my fear is Sony's reputation and my personal experience that they really like to take proprietary
or OEM and "tweak" it just enough to drive you crazy.

In this case, the existing is (approx) 5-1/2 x 3-3/8 x 5-3/4 (w-h-d) and I really don't want to
use a dremmel or self taping screws to mount a new PSU because Delta made "something special" (the A in QBA model ref.) just for Sony.

I contacted a seller on e-bay with the exact model for sale but as he she or it never came back to my request for measurements, I've run out of ideas.........

Brantyn Gerik.......solid, solid, practical advice.............thank you.
In the proocess, it seem cautionary to place cardboard between where the drill bit might go & where
the shavings (if any) shouldn't go.
I'm 30 years construction & retired and my expereience is with
1/2 hp percussion drills....not sissy dremmels! Scared to death to get carried away.

cin19...likewise helpful, but in a different way.
You actually provided info for phase two of my plans.

My rig is old and the writting is on the wall.... the plan is to max out it's potential
as a multi media center and information storage and retrieval archive.
I'm overkilling, somewhat,now, believing my options will diminish over time.
I've already burned up 2 IDE burner-players and just ordered a third from ebay.
That's not where I woukl prefer to shop!

All this is to say, if it's permitted, can we talk graphics cards.

goodie, goodie, goodie....here we go..............

$$$$$...
PSU: around $100 max. Deals have away of showing up if you keep looking!
80Bronze, single rail and too many cables! I love options and don't know for sure where I' m going to end up!
Love how quiet the Delta has been (as opposed to the Seagate 160 hd!). glitz don't impress me.
Corsair, Antec, something from Tom's "Tier two" list. My main is 24 but prefer 20+4 as may use elsewhere.
Limiting factor here is size...the ones I"ve liked are 6-61/2". Not sure that's a good idea in a 7" net interior! ??
Should I worry about cooling? have 2 internal plus 1 on PSU and, I expect 1 on Video card.

Video Card ...no more than $150. Min 2GB DDR5 memory
Had an ATI Radeon with 128MB memory and now an Nvidea Geforce 8400GS w/512.
Yet with this board and this BIOS, I have monitored a "shared" memory of 1.91GB?

When I am running all 6 hd (4 Internal + 2-2TB external), things slow down when I'm online.
My theory is if the RAM (which is maxed out to 4GB) is no longer shared it will help overall performance.
Am I wrong?
Also I will be adding a second 32" Samsung HD TV for dual monitors......guess I'll need extea Dvi/HDMI!

my Chipset is Intel's 945, the board has the LGA775 socket and the CPU is Intel's Pentiumd 930 dual core @3GHz. The BIOS is a 2007 and because this is now a legacy board I do not expect another release.

I am most appreciative of help...so i leave, saying:

status report:

took trip to MicroCenter, Cleveland OH...Saturday.
bought Asus GEFORCE GTX 750 1GB DDR5 (new "Maxwell", high efficiency).
so far:
1. visual morer clear, clean, crisp and "vivid"
2. HUGE difference in response speed of CPU (quicker across the board...internet, files, tasks, everything)
3. had to pay $144.99....am fighting with MC to price match New Egg at $124.00

basicly proving what I thought: old GeForce 8400GS was hogging DDR2 RAM., slowing me down.
though, truthfully, a faster GPU probably helps !
.................................
upon swapping card. took good look at PSU.
problem.
Sony (POS) has a right angled bracket ("a reverse L") supporting PSU and limiting size.
? worth "bending" back to fit in a different, slightly larger (Deeper) PSU?

still thinking more watts, as cushion & future plans.................

........................
here's some info on card:

note to SR-71 Blackbird:

return the favor with this link, though maybe u have already...

is HUGE compilation of Nvidea...my new card almost at bottom,

Brantyn Gerik & SR-71 Blackbird


This is the parting of our ways, so to speak.
Unfortunately for me, SONY (POS) has thrown one final ringer at me (Big Surprise!)

Even though Intel says my mainborad is replaceable:
SONY (POS) designed this Vaio chasis in such a way as to make it impossible
to do exactly that. (physically, structurally, form factor)

So, while I'm gonna keep an eye out for another PSU...this is the end of upgrading on this rig.

I THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR LINKS, SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS!
....for the record, i would perfer to say you both posed solutions!!!
jd

could've done worse.....
