Adapters : Dell Power Supply Converter

**Special Note to Owners of Dell Computers:** If your Dell computer was manufactured after August 1998, it may require the use of a proprietary Dell power supply. Although the Dell power supply looks like a standard ATX, it is a non-standard PSU that cannot be replaced with a standard power supply alone. Because of this design difference your Dell Power Supply may need a Dell to ATX power supply converter in order to be replaced with any of our standard ATX Quiet Power Supplies.

Hey Bubbie, it says right on the page you linked to that the 4400 does not need an adapter, try reading your own links. Most likely it was a bad power supply, despite what people think you really should buy a quality name brand power supply, else stuff like this can happen.

well his motherboard was probably fried because maybe he plugged it in before he plugged in the power cables to the mobo and then plugged in the power cables to the mobo(motherboard), but usually the psu(power supply) in dells or any pre-build computers are proprietary. this means they do not have standards, they have cutom dimensions to fit your case. you might want to find out what kind of motherboard you have ie atx micro-atx or such on and find the dimensions of your current psu that came with your dell, but just because your friend was even able to fit one in his case doesnt mean yours will fit or fry your mobo if it does fit, that was his fault.also, 350W psu's are like nothing nowadays, you are better off getting something around 500W if you are going to have a lot of peripherals.
