you mean - these power supplies (PSUs) - right?

yeah, but there's a reason - the internal components are packed much more dense - this makes FLEX PSUs much smaller but also more expensive

to save you some unnecessary trouble, here is a size comparison between big ATX / small ATX / SFX / FLEX

even if you remove the fan and housings around the ATX/SFX PSUs, the circuit boards with all components are still a lot larger than a FLEX PSU

Maybe have a look if you can find a good second hand FLEX ... or TFX if it fits in your HP prebuilt

Good luck!
