Quiet. Cool, Rock Solid
By J. Kenney
OK, so I’ll be the first. I guess not some humans take a lot of time to think when it comes to how much they like their new power supplies.
I have a DELL Dimension E520 MiniTower (circa Spring 2007) with Intel Core Duo E6400 (2.13GHz) and 2GB main mem. I was looking to upgrade my graphics card to a DX10 compliant GeForce card (upgrading from the current ATI Radeon x1300) and necessitated a PSU with a little more punch than Dell’s stock 305 watter.
This one is a dream. Power connectors for each imaginable need, including 2 PCIe connectors in case you want to double up SLI-style (of course, there is only one PCIe slot on Dell’s skimpy BTX style motherboard). It is genuinely a bit littler than the Dell PSU, which is a good thing because I necessitated extra space to squeeze in the unused cables. I likewise had to snip away a tiny bit of the Dell case in back so the plug socket would clear the edge. It is amazingly quiet and provides unwavering power to 2 DVD drives, 2 hard drives and the CPU. Also runs very cool. I’m very pleased.

So you purchased a Dell…
By Noirist
So you purchased a Dell…. You saved a lot of cash when you purchased your computer and then you encountered that Dell also saved a heap of cash when they built your computer. One way they saved cash was to use a lower-quality lower-capacity power supply and a non-standard motherboard. Now you want to upgrade your graphics card or add numerous more disk drives and the basi power supply won’t suffice. And you can’t just put a regular ATX or eATX power supply into your Dell because it won’t fit in your Dell case and it won’t connect to your Dell motherboard.
That’s where this product comes in. PC Power and Cooling makes numerous of the most eminent quality power furnishes that cash may buy. Their Silencer brand is well-respected by fanciers and well-reviewed all over the web. And count your lucky stars that they make a version of their fantastic product that will work in your cheapo Dell! This is it, this is the highest-quality highest-capacity (500w) power supply that will fit in your Dell. And it runs cool and quiet and may power all the disk drives you may fit in your case and the latest biggest graphics cards. It even comes with four screws to attach the power supply in case Dell forgot to put all four screws in when they assembled your computer (as they did with mine).
Before buying this outstanding Dell-compatible power supply, check the manufacturer’s web website to make sure it is compatible with your Dell

I couldn’t believe my luck when I found this product. I installed it in a Dimension 8400 with a high-end Nvidia GTX 260 graphics card; it is working flawlessly.

Geat Power Supply
By D. E. Hutnicki
I love this power supply. Works perfectly with the Dell Vostro 200 and has power to spare. My only complaint is that the initial one we received was DOA (dead on arrival) However, Amazon was was outstanding and overnighted the alternate at their expense. Things occur and I do not blame either the manufacturer nor Amazon. If anything, the guy installing the PS called the company and was capable to get technical support right away. After a couple of attempting to repair it, tech aid said it was dead and to interchange it. I always feel that a company ought to be ranked based on their help and both the manufacturer and Amazon are class acts
