I have space for a PS of
3.25 in wide
3.5 in tall

I hope around 230 watts will do it

Your power supply link dose not work, but from the part # it looks like an AT, you need an ATX.

Here is a couple of good deals. You should go a little bigger than 230w, at least 300w.

If your old case is an AT case it won't work with that motherboard.
You will need an ATX case also.

Is there not an ATX pwr. supply that will fit into that footprint?

Im sure there is but...

AT = Big wire with a switch/button on the end.

ATX = No switch.

You'de have to rip out whatever 'power on' the current case has and install your own momentery switch.

I don't think so. Dell, Packard Bell, Compact, Acer and others like them are not a good choice for upgrading. They are made on purpose so you have to buy parts from them. You can get a new standard case with a power supply for less than $50 shipped. Why bother?

Nice deal.

I pulled out the mobo case mountsand placed them where they needed to be.I also did the cut out for back plate,turned out great.Took the internal speakers to give some breathing room.It is now a micro ATX case.This could have been a ice chest or toaster,for a true abstract mod as I understand it.
Now I am really green to this kind of thing,but I can do a little fabrication.
Thanks for your input, it drives me on.
Please post to the new power switch and power supply.
Thanks!
A LOT
