The short answer is yes, however, the power supply supplied is an external model lp1260 (12v - 6A output). They are quite different than the internal ones. You can replace the lp1260 it at http://www.newpowersupply.com. My lp1260 setup works fine with an Intel Mini ITX D510 Atom motherboard with 4 gb ram. Motherboard has a fan and I have a slim cdrom as the major power needs. It is a small unit that does not need much power. Check with your motherboard manufacturer to get their required recommendation for an external power unit. Another power supply source is http://www.powergatellc.com/external-power-supplies.html. My suggestion is to try the existing power supply you will have paid for to see if it works for you. You can always get a bigger one later.

It depends on other factors: Is this part of an upgrade or just a replacement item? The size of the power supply housing is important; it should be the same equivalent size as the original equipment being replaced. If these considerations have been checked; yes it should work just fine.

I cannot say with 100% certainty, but the power supply units size is fairly standard. One can assume that the makers of the towers understand this.

If you are using a power supply that old that it doesn't have it be wise and upgrade it as well.

yes, this is exactly what this does. Split the power. (I am also assuming your psu is enough to handle all of the device loads.)

You could just go with a higher power supply that way if u do more upgrades in the future your all set.

Hello,Difficult at best, as the original 300W PS in a proprietary 12 pin model...unless you choose to change the motherboard... which is pointless.You also could have to add cooling fans...in this case.Better go firsthand with a computer featuring the power supply you intend to use...!!!This system is by no way intended for gamers...needing power hungry game cards...!!!Hope that helps you.Rejean

This PSU is no bigger than other PSUs I have used in my life. I even think it is standard size, so if you are using a regular PSU right now and want to replace it, you won't have any problem with this one.

You need to check your current power supply and make sure this power supply is the appropriate replacement. Click on the link for the new power supply and it will list the old power supply it replaces.

I am not expert, but the parellex power supply unit recommended for mine was an excellent fix..

You may try it, although 300W is on a low side and it may force you to go to 450-500W power supply for any further upgrades you may have in mind. I put it in the system with 650W and it works great.

Its a 500 watt power supply you could probably google it. It shouldnt have much effect espically if you are already running a desktop.

NO!!!! That will not work. Please do not do that as you may damage the power supply. You would need to add additional circuitry.

I bought a modular power supply, and it worked just fine. I had a pretty sizeable GPU and then replaced it with another, shorter, one, but both setups were fine.

Yes you can. Just make sure to account for other hardware as well. I've seen this card go up to around 120 watts under load.

No, whatever your system requires is the voltage you have to use. I tried swapping between my 3 different voltages and it doesn't work.
