I have a 550mhz PIII HP8575 computer. I want to put a more powerful graphics card in it, but my crummy little proprietary power supply is too weak. I don't mind buying a new PSU. But people say I have to cut the case to make it fit? How? I would like to know what to cut before I make the decision to buy the PSU. Any help or comments would be appreciated!

I have no experience with proprietary PSUs because.. well thay are proprietary. But note this. Many systems with proprietary PSUs and mobos dont use the standard ATX pinout for the PSU. So you may have to mod the cable as well.
