Which computer power supply will fit a slimline

Forum CPU & Components : Power Supplies, Cases & Mods Which computer power supply will fit a slimline

I bought a Pow-Logisys 550W duel switching power supply to support a my new PNY GeForce GT 220 low-profile graphics card for my slimline HP Pavilion s5257c-b Desktop. The power supply is way too big to install, so I would like to know what other power supply would fit easily into the slimline tower.

Note: It has to have at least 350W or greater system power supply with a minimum 12V current rating of 18A.

the GT220 does not need a 350w PSU. the card hardly draws any power.

under load with a top of the line PC, the total system power barely breaks 200w

this seasonic has 21a on its 12v, you can run the ATI 5750 low profile off it

Forgive me for my ignorance, but your saying the my 220W psu is enough to run the gt220 card. Correct? Thank you.

It is correct, total system draw under heavy load is 206watts.
