Yeah, that's what it seems like. I've never changed a power supply before, so I'm afraid that if I do, the computer might not turn on again.
It was also discouraging to look at the HP support site and see that my computer is no longer supported.
Haha. I know the feeling. I don't think it's a major repair in the event that you do need to get your power supply replaced.

The flooding in Thailand drove up the prices... They've more than doubled now.
Samsung's bringing three new displays to CES: commence throwing your money at the screen
The biggest show of the year is just a few days short from arriving in the Nevada desert and it's time for the big boys to show off the attention-grabbing objects of desire. Samsung's setting mouths watering at the sight of three new displays: two monitors and a HDTV/monitor that's gonna hate to sit in your office. The Series 7 HDTV is a 24-or-27-inch display with a built-in HDTV tuner so you can flip between that spreadsheet / football game. There's WiDi and MHL gear inside too, so you can stream content from your computer, cellphone or tablet and will set you back $600 when it arrives in March. The Series 7 Smart Station will appear on shelves the same day, costing $50 less but missing the HDTV tuner and WiDi unit.
For the serious screen lover, the Series 9 is a 27-inch premium monitor that's packing a plane line switching panel with a QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 and MHL, so those spreadsheets can go from smartphone to display in seconds. Of course, that teeth-whitening resolution comes at a price: it'll cost you $1200 when it also arrives in March.
Victorinox to launch 1TB USB / eSATA II flash drive with built-in LCD at CES
Well it looks like everyone's favorite pocketknife company is readying a 1TB combo USB 2.0/eSATA II flash drive for a CES launch next week -- yes, one TERABYTE. From the looks of it, the Victorinox drive will come in black and red finishes with two bodies -- one with a scissor and knife, and a TSA-friendly version without. Besides the optional implements, both drives appear to be virtually identical, with a key ring and plastic clasp to keep the drive safely covered when not in use. Once you've wrapped your head around that gigantic one-terabyte capacity, take a gander at the built-in monochrome LCD, which will be used to display drive contents and possibly a custom message. All we appear to be missing at this point are pricing and availability, and with an entire terabyte of storage, we can't imagine this thing will be cheap.
As PC cases go, the Level 10 is easily the most outrageous design to ever get the go-ahead for commercial distribution, and according to PC Perspective the reason for that is clear: the product's workmanship and long-term durability match its most excellent looks. Weighing in at nearly 50 pounds of densely packed aluminum, the Level 10 sports a modular design with room for six hard (or solid state) drives, three optical drives, multiple jumbo-sized GPUs, and even an appropriately huge power supply. Alas, the one shortcoming of all this supersizing (apart from the price) is pretty big in itself -- the case turned out to be so large as to make it impossible to connect some components with their standard cabling. We'll call that a newbie filtration feature and continue to hope someone loves us enough to buy us one.
Finally changed the PSU on my PC. So far so good.
Disconnecting all the cables was a pain, especially the one connected to the motherboard. My hand could barely fit. I want to hit the person who designed this computer.

No it is regular size, but where it was connected to the motherboard was a problem. It was behind the harddrive and the media drive bay. My hand couldn't fit and there was little room to pull the cable. The memory is there too, so changing that in the future would be problem as well.

Hmm, does sound like an awkward layout... I guess there's no fixed way a layout should be other than the connectors on the rear.
The harddrive is behind the metal box, leaving little room. Removing the hdd would be troublesome too because the screws are underneath, you can see one in the right pic, so you would have to use a very small screwdriver. I remember my old computer seemed to have more space or at least easy access to things.
