Dell make things in an "odd" way so you have to buy parts
from them at high prices...

Some of their (desktop/tower) ATX power supplies had
standard looking plugs for the MB and if replaced with a
"standard" over the counter PS,
the new one would burn up the MB...
(Thankfully, I have heard they now use a different plug and socket...)

I'd be real careful fooling around with this...
