    Lads I know that dell Mobos and case's have serious compatibility issues but does anybody know if I am going to have trouble fitting a after-market psu onto a dell case more than likely a 8400 about a year a half old.

    Yes, are not the shape of an ATX PSU and they have a bracket so that it can fold out, dell do it so you have to buy from them, it will work, it just wont fit in the case;)

    Funny you should say that but I saw it myself, and for that price plus shipping its just not worth it. I'v convinced him to buy a dual core rig anyway.
