Default Non standard PSUs - Need small PSU for half height setup

I recently bought a low profile Geforce 9600GT gfx card for my Acer Aspire X1200 mini-PC. The problem I'm having is I have to find a power supply with a minimum of 400w in order to use the gfx card. I also don't know how to find one that will fit inside the X1200 since the tower is not the normal size for even a mini-PC. Any suggestions?

Personally, I would make the move to a standard case and avoid having your choices limited.

So would I.

Even just a cheap case, you could spend just £20 have a decent case, and not have choice limited and have to spend more on a PSU to get one that's worse anyway..
