I'm looking for an supplementary power supply to put in my pc to power a new video card. Does anyone know where I can buy this kind of thing in europe please? Is anyone here using something similar?

Eh, Core i5, 4gb ram, HP 8200CMT PC with 320w power supply. Its a new pc given to me as part payment for a recent job I did for someone. I will be adding 3 SATA 3.5" hard disks and want to add a descent video card for occasional gaming. Do you know where I can buy a supplemental power supply like the one I mentioned mate? I have already looked into the possibility of upgrading the main power supply and its not possible(HP proprietry connectors onboard) that is why I am looking for the supplemental one.

sorry ive honestly no advice. never come across those powersupplies. is it an ultra portable?

have you considered getting a new PSU and motherboard and selling on the "old" stuff. im assuming that the case can take standard ATX or mATX boards. is it a slim style PC?

No, its a standard minitower case, its not a slimline model. The pc is practically brand new so I don't want to replace the board, I just wanted to add a better power supply so I could throw in a new video card for some gaming, it uses onboard video at the moment. The crap thing is that the power supply is non-standard and so are the connectors on the board so its unfortunately not just a case of replacing it with a standard power supply:(
