This is also why they Print 25W max on the X16 video slot.

What part number is on the power supply.? If you have 275w power supply perhaps you have DESKTOP model and not SFF. The slot will still have the 25w limit shown. I would not use a geforce based card. AN Asus SILENT EAH 6450 does fit and works.
Just Had My Brother To Check Inside The Case, It Is 275W. Can I Use This Video Card, Or Should I Go For The Radeon HD 5450 Mentioned In A Photo Above?
EDIT: Asus Radeon HD5450 Require More Than A 275W PSU. Thus, Asus Should Not Be Considered. Found an MSI Radeon HD5450 low profile, But I Was Unable To Find How Much Power It Requires. Do You Know How Much Power Does The MSI Radeon HD5450 Require?
P.S. I Need A Graphics Card With At Least 512MB Capacity, Therefore, The HD2400 Series Is Useless To Me.
The PSU Is 275W. And I'm Using The SFF (Otherwise I Wouldn't Look For LP Cards.) It Is A Refurbished GX620, So I Guess,They Changed The PSU.

Rather than Google I opened up my GX620SFF and took a look at the Actual Power Supply which is 220W. Note the MAX Output power 220W part number YD358. The max TDP for a 6450 is 27W and the Max TDP for the Geforce 210 is 31W.
I looked up GX520 and GX620 SFF power supplies on eBay, and they are 275 watts.
I have a Sapphire 6450 installed in my SFF (Windows 8 x64) and it functions very well. For what it's worth, the main point of my buying the old machine was to determine what worked and what didn't.
The ASUS EAH6450 fits in all models except the USFF and has worked fine in my unit with 220W power supply. The concern with the Geforce 210 is that it uses 31W whereas the 5450 uses 19W and the 6450 uses 27W. Every watt counts so Changing from the Hard Drive to an SSD would also give a few watts back.
Well, All I Can Do Now Is To Remove The Floppy Drive Which Consumes 0.5 Watt I Think :emotion-12: I Was Always Thinking Of Replacing My HDD With A Kingston V300 120GB SSD, But It's Not Worth These Upgrades. It Is A Pretty Old System :emotion-6:

I installed a Sapphire 6450 in my GX620 SFF, but the GT 210 should work as well.

GT210 uses too much power wont work. He has Pentium D which is a 95W CPU.

31 watts should be within the capability of the 275-watt? power supply, even with a 95-watt CPU.

Dell has for years cranked down the power for energy star.
Dell YD358 - 220W Power Supply is not 275W
GX260 and GX280 SFF Use 250W
:emotion-3:
At best it wont post. At worst there will be a loud POP! then smoke then fire.
Dell YD358 220W Power Supply is for
Dell OptiPlex GX520 SFF, GX620 SFF, XPS 200, Dimension 5100C, 5150C
This is also why they Print 25W max on the X16 video slot.

The Card You Posted Seems Good, But Since It Is More Expensive Than This One:
http://www.skroutz.gr/s/422697/MSI-Radeon-HD5450-1GB-LP.html
(MSI Radeon HD5450 LP)
It Will Be An Alternative If The MSI Doesn't Work.
Thank You All
Edit: The MSI Radeon Will Work, According To NewEgg's Product Q&A.
Thank You All Guys, I Really Appreciate Your Help!

The heatsink on the MSI looks TOO WIDE. Thats why the ASUS EAH Silent series is recommended.
If the heatsink is too large it wont fit in the case. The Dell X399D looks like this.

It should be noted that we are talking about SFF
Rather than Google I opened up my GX620SFF and took a look at the Actual Power Supply which is 220W. Note the MAX Output power 220W part number YD358. The max TDP for a 6450 is 27W and the Max TDP for the Geforce 210 is 31W.
Also confirmed here
http://www.impactcomputers.com/yd358.html
I did find a 275W version N8373/YD080 (Which I would Recommend if you are trying the update)
http://www.impactcomputers.com/YD080.html
http://www.impactcomputers.com/N8373.html
N8373 also has 4 pin molex for the floppy drive whereas the others do not.
The USFF is a non starter because their power supply is 150W and it has no slots.

Large 3.5 inch drives can use 25W of power.
An SSD can use as little as 5W of power.

I Think It Is the YD080 Version, If Only I Could Access It Right Now To Ensure It.
So, I Should Go For The ASUS EAH. :emotion-18:
Thank You All For Helping Me Out :emotion-2:
Hope I Won't Experience High Tempertures In My Tiny Case :P

That's what I have, and I opened up the chassis to confirm that the power supply is 275 watts.
I was incorrect, though, regarding the video card: it is a Sapphire 6570, not a Sapphire 6450.

I don't think you need to remove anything. Your power supply is adequate for the GT 210 or 6450.
