Dell Inspiron 530s

Can anyone find a power supply that can fit in a Dell Inspiron 530s and hook up to the motherboard and the 9600GT?
Much appreciated.

DELL is bit annoying with their case modification so not sure if regular PSU can fit ok how about take some couple screenshots outside and inside the computer showing off the brackets ....etc

is that DELL even in a mid tower case?

Nope, it's a slimline.
The thing is small as hell and it's so hard to upgrade.
I finally find the best graphics card for this computer after Dell's customer service repeatedly stated that the best graphics card for the computer was like some ATI piece of crap...
now i need to look for a new power supply because the graphics card can't hook up to their power supply.. /:

actually DELL was right to recommend ATi if you like to get low power but still have updated hardware, you might be able only to run ATi HD 4600 series, I'm not sure if there are slim line nVidia GTX with low power options for cheap bucks but if you got more experience with nVidia go ahead get one for me i just dumped nVidia 6600GT because it got friend and replaced it with ATi HD 4650

here is what I totally recommend leave that DELL alone and don't touch it and build you a new system from scratch and yea use a mid tower please so you have enough room for the system to breathe

I would if i could, but i don't have enough money. I already bought the 9600GT (which 9600GT> ATI HD 4650 :P) and it hasn't been in use because it won't plug into the power supply... so i could spend like 50 more bucks (if the power supply i'm looking at actually hooks up to the motherboard). I was just seeing if anyone else woudl recommend that one too because it was the only one i could find that my friend recommended. You have any power supplies that you know of that could fit in a slimline and could hook up to the motherboard and my graphics card?

my brother bought the ATi HD 4650 just because it didn't need any special power connections, can you even fit that 9600GT inside that little box?

for slim PSU i found few on newegg is that DELL using mini ITX? because nothing going to work !!! but for Micro ATX yea there are few you can choose from so just check out newegg see if you like something from there

well this might work for winter but for summer oh crap that system will run so hot I'm afraid it will go ....dead!!!
