I am fixing a friend's old HP Pavilion 7800 desktop. The thing was so clogged with dust that the power supply failed. Anyway, I am looking for a replacement PSU for it, the Bestec 1523f is the model of the unit that failed.

My question is, do I need an SFX type PSU, or can I get by with a regular microATX? I haven't been able to find anything definitive online as to the type of the Bestec unit.

Hmmm...Googled Bestec 1523f and the 4th link had some great info on this PSU and replacements.

You're the person to best answer your question. Measure the dimensions where the PSU will be placed. Then look at a site such as Newegg that lists the dimensions of PSUs...compare and contrast (obscure Dana Carvey reference) and see if the PSU you want to put in will fit.
