Dell 8400 power supply

Post by Snowman 15 »

Will a regular atx powersupply fit in a dell 8400 case?

Is a regular powersupply compatible with the dell 8400 hardware?

I can't say that I'm familiar with that exact hardware, but I can say that the Dells I've worked on lately have had proprietary power connectors on their motherboards. It pissed me right off to find that out the hard way.
73% of all statistics are made up, including this one.

I'm waiting as fast as I can.

IIRC, it uses the BTX layout. PC Power & Cooling sells high-quality PSUs designed to fit in Dell cases.
