The Antec PP-352x is a good one. 350 watt, P4 Ready, fully buzz-word compliant.

Around $49.

LOL, agree with your quote, steve sucks ;)

I think CompUSA carries Antec PSUs..and p4-ready ones...so I'll tell him to pick up a 300w just to try it out...

is it possible that if it doesn't work, it will damage the board?</strong><hr></blockquote>

I have three Dell's that I run as test machines, and that I have supported for a couple of years. I seen people load these to the gills with hard drives, zip drives PCI cards and have never had a problem with power.

On my gaming system that I built from scatch, I have a 400w PSU because of all the fans and hardware that I have installed.

LOL, saw that link today, quite a funny one. :D

Dude, You're going to hell! :eek: hah aha

I found something like that in my cousin's "Compaq
Pa'sorry'o". His Power supply broke down so I replaced it with my old 250w and it works although it didn't have a different connector that goes on the motherf*board and to the sound card. It's PII / ATx Motherboard.
:p

ROFLMAO :D :D

I used to work for a company that refurbished mostly Dell and Compaq computers. Every Dell model that I can think of that I ever saw up until I left there a year ago had a proprietary power supply. Some of the motherboards that had connectors that would connect to standard ATX power supply but they had reversed several of the wires in the power supply connector and if you used a Dell motherboard and a standard ATX power supply or a standard motherboard and a Dell power supply you would smoke the board and power supply and usually everything else in the system. Just be super careful when finding a replacement power supply. Make sure the voltages are correct between the two power supplys and the pin layout is done the same or you will be buying a whole new system. Good luck.

What kind of Dell computer does he have? Is it old or new?
