dlewis23 Posted July 1, 2006 CID Share Posted July 1, 2006 that PSU will work with no problem. Dell uses standard power supplys so any standard ATX powersupply will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted July 2, 2006 CID Share Posted July 2, 2006 i vhave a dead dell here. it's a p3 and i'm not replacing the psu. it requires a dell psu specifically with an additional proprietary connectore to the mobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted July 2, 2006 CID Share Posted July 2, 2006 Anything to get more money on replacement parts amen.. i vhave a dead dell here. it's a p3 and i'm not replacing the psu. it requires a dell psu specifically with an additional proprietary connectore to the mobo. What model do you have?? are you sure it isnt a 4 pin 12volt deal.. I have an old 500mhz celeron socket not slot sitting around.. if you are interest in the PS let me know..

resopalrabotnick Posted July 2, 2006 CID Share Posted July 2, 2006 i called dell and talked to a tech that had fixed dells. both said it's a proprietary interface. the psu looks like an ATX but the fan and input are mirror imaged to an actual ATX supply. it's not worth shipping the psu, and i'm just keeping the thing around in case i stumble on an old case/board i can use the cpu/ram in to set up an extra system.

Guest PeePs Posted July 2, 2006 CID Share Posted July 2, 2006 wasnt like that for ever.. I still thing HP/Compaq are putting in those odd shaped ones.. Yea last year when I got a new PS and video card for my HP they had to bend part of the back of the case to make the PS fit in..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planatoid Posted July 3, 2006 CID Share Posted July 3, 2006 Dell is ghey. How much are you willing to spend? http://www.pcpowercooling.com/products/viewproduct.php?show=S47D They make the best PSUs around. Edit: Bah, I'm dumb. How many amps does your 12v rail have? Look right on your PSU. That's the only thing that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
