Oh the horror! That’s why you should install off a flash drive, people. The OS is the easiest part.
Not all BIOSes support that. What you _can_ generally rely on, though, is installing off a USB CD drive. I use one of those now (well, a DVD burner actually, but same diff), and most computers on the network simply don’t have internal optical drives. The number of times it’s been a problem can be counted on the fingers of one hand. In binary.
This is what happens when you try to upgrade with a piece of crap case made by Compaq. Spend some damn money and do your part to stimulate the economy.
Have hammer, will work for bits.
It’s an HP, I did something similar but my version was an outside mounted PSU.
HP: Building POS computers for decades.
Even GlaDOS won’t run on it!
You know a larger case would probably have cost you half what that PSU cost you.
Sweet power supply! Look at all that nicely mangled metal! Nothing better to fix a computer like this than pump-pliers and a claw hammer. Shakes all the dust out and resets the thermal creep in the chipsets. I’ve done this exact thing to some crappy box with a bizarre PS that still otherwise functioned. Long gone now, alas…
The sign that its time to buy a new case.
The sad thing is, if he’s running hardware that requires that beefy of a power supply, he absolutely -needs- a new case anyway. The air flow in those pieces of crap are atrocious, unless you leave it completely open… at which point you would have been better off mounting everything to a piece of plywood anyway.
Seriously, you can get a new, good case for cheap. You can find used cases for even cheaper.
Or if you have the tools, the know-how, and the materials, just freakin build one.
everyone on this comment section so far has been a complete noob :/.
Can someone tell me what the hell hell those bays are supposed to be for?
Not sure if troll or has never seen the inside of a computer case…
sooooo…the problem was that the case was designed for a PSU that was shorter, a lot shorter…
Am I right?
