hi a friend of mine has asked if i can upgrade is pc to an i5 system the problem is that he wants to keep his same case has he really likes it and matches all his other stuff,its a hp slim s5000 seriers s5565uk,there is not a lot of room indside so he will need somit like a media center motherbord,my only consern is that the cooler as standered on a i5 processor might not fit has anyone got any sugestions what bord and chip to buy, any i5 processor will be a big impovement to the standered amd processor thats in it,if he has to buy an other cooler thats silm line has anyone got any ideas thank you?:):)
 
ran into big prob with up grade, took side off case to have a look before jumped in and its got media center psu in thats tiny only 220 watts would not power i5 or i7 chip lol would strugle power a torch lol can ya get hi powerd psu for media center cases,theres no way a normal psu would fit in case.
