Question replacement pwer supply

[Gatekeeper050]

I was given a HP510-a010 desktop. would it be worthwhile to replace the power supply with a Athena 300 watt micro atx power supply model MP4ATX30?

What would be your motivation?

Something wrong with existing PSU?

many times these prebuilt systems will use proprietary power supplies with proprietary connections.

if you do decide to try to replace the existing power supply;
make sure it has proper cables for the OEM motherboard
and that the replacement will actually fit in the allotted space.

HP510-a010

12v only system with proprietary connectors.

MP4ATX30

SFX PSU with ATX connectors. Garbage quality and only 228w @12v (on a good day).

No, it's better to keep the original HP PSU.

I can't imagine a scenario in which plugging in a junk PSU is a good idea.
