Power supplies are something most people pay no attention to unless it fails. Since it's bolted into the case it's not even considered a part. Unfortunately the manufacturer is going to put in the smallest (read cheapest) that will run the original system. Anything you add wasn't allowed for and a power supply running on the edge is, as you say, a failure just waiting to happen.
