HP = Proprietary PSUs?

[Sovereign]

Can I stick a regular, industry-standard PSU such as this Fortron into an HP Pavilion a720n? Or does HP use weirded-out PSUs like Dell used to?

most likely chk the plug on the power supply

In other words if the plug from my PCP&C 850 fits then this should work with the aforementioned Fortron?

It's ordered, my PCP&C cable fit right in.

I had a HP Pavillion made in '02 that had a propietary PSU.

This PC was built/purchased in 03/04...usually proprietary stuff has a power cable that won't fit a standard PSU, nor will a standard PSU cable fit the proprietary power supply. The PC Power and Cooling cable fits....so I hope this works.
