The power unit seems small in dimensions, but I don't have another computer to compare it to at the time. I would like to throw in a cheap 450-500 Watt PSU (found for $30)

Be careful of $30 PSUs. Some of them don't have video card cables and are maybe no better than your Dell PSU even though they claim a higher wattage. Check the amp rating and their efficiency too (80% and above is great).
