Re: Dell Deal or Similar?

[Simon Pawson <simonp1234@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had problems in the past with my old Dell. The power supply blew
and the only compatible replacement was 50+ ukp via Dell. Quite by
chance I decided to look it up on the net as it looked to be standard
size. I'm grateful I did as I found stories of people replacing it with
a standard power supply (as I nearly did as part of PD to isolate the
problem) and blowing their MB as the connections look the same but
aren't compatible.

Do these Dells have the same problem?

Thanks,

Simon
