Is there anyway to find what my Power supply is?

[Bio_Terra]

Is there anyway to find what my power supply is without opening up my pc (its wired into the table so i'd prefer not to have to open it yet)
Im thinking of upgrading but i need to know if my power supply can handle it. here are my specs and dxdiag

Compaq Presario SR 1339 P4 515
Pentium 4 2.93 Ghz
2x256 DDR RAM
260 GB 7200 rpm hard drive
DVD-ROM drive
DVD -/+ Writer
Ati radeon X300SE 128MB

Thx.

You do know that checking inside your case will probably take less time than writing that post did.

Being a Compaq it is probably a 250w. But again, opening your case will take less time than reading this post.

Except my PC is literally "caged" into a table so i cant even access the back without taking everything off and out.

I'm also going to guess that it's the standard 250w Compaq PSU. You more than likely will not be able to upgrade that with any standard ATX PSU either(Judging from past experience, they may have changed that now..).

Re: Is there anyway to find what my Power supply is?

can any1 confirm?

EDIT: I tried several sites that check what power supply you should have and they all seem to suggest 280+ watts without even having any upgrades.
EDIT2: after much searching on the compaq website i found that for my model i should have this power supply

AC input voltage (47-63Hz):

• 100-127V/8A
• 200-240V/4A

DC output wattage: 300 Watts

can anyone give an idea of how good this is?

Not too good.. lol
Recommended buying a 450 or 500W if I were you

I remember the good old days when 300w was a killer psu.
