Judging from picture 6 of that computer, I'd say no.
There's a PCIe slot, but I don't think there's room for the fan on the GPU.
even so, it's already got an integrated 9200 and you're trying to put in a 8400 which I'd say isn't worth it.

it will probably fit but its not a very good card at all, the onboard graphics will probably out perform it

to a point, yes. Intergrated graphics has come a long way. Most now have stand alone memory and pretty high bandwidth but usually slim on the pipeline count. However, theres a ton of wanna be cards that are crap too. The 9400 gt you posted will dissapoint you if your trying to get setup for gaming. If your not gaming you wont need a card at all, the onboard will carry most anything but heavy games just as the card will.

thats WAY better and ill show you why.
Open the new egg link on both cards and click the specs link, note the difference in the amount of stream processors. That alone makes alot of difference in video cards. Always take note of the stream processors and the clock speeds, higher the number the better it is.
