Looking for an upgrade for Dell Optiplex 380 PSU

[JoeSchmoe]

Hi-

I recently got my hands on a Dell Optiplex 380l, "small form factor" desktop, and I want to see what I can do with it. However, I am having a hard time finding a PSU that will fit the case. Most small form factors I find are to small or too large, the one that it came with was made by Dell and is a H235PD-01. It is 235W and has odd dimensions: 5" x 4" x 5.25" ( 127 x 101.6 x 133.35 mm). I'm looking to upgrade to at least a 400w. Do you guys know of any similar sized PSUs? Attached are a couple of photos of the original PSU.

A little small for the case but i could rig a mount for one, do you think it would just be easier to purchase a case and transfer all the parts over?
