just bought a gateway sx2851-09e computer. It runs fine, but would like to install a pci video card for online gaming. Most cards require at least 300 watts of power, unfortunately, this pc only has 220 watts. What model power supply can i put in there that would fit? ( PC is rather slim) I would like to get up to about 500 watts if possible -Shane

Good luck with that. I don't beleive those type PSU's come that large.
You might want to look into a 2U server power supply. I don't know if one will fit in your system but those do come in 500W size.

Do you have the option of returning this system and getting a more standard sized one?
