Power Supply For Dell Dimension 4300s

by redrider1957 / September 30, 2005 9:45 AM PDT

I have just purchased a Dell 4300s and I need to purchase a power supply. If you have any recomended sites or address where I could find one that would be great. Nothing really powerful, just one that will work.

Thanks

If what you say is true...

Dell should provide you a new one, free of charge, or for a very minimal charge

nevertheless, you need to contact Dell as i'm guessing that machine is not using a standard size unit, and only Dell can provide the unit you need (or you could go straight to their supplier, PC Power & Cooling)

Hello redrider1957,

I have had bad experience with Dell Customer Service which includes being put on hold for more than an hour. Not acceptable. Dell will jack up the price, too. I would go to the link below and purchase a Power Supply from them. Their a real good site to order from. Calling dell is not a smart thing to do. Next time go for something besides Dell. Here is the link:
http://www.newegg.com. To be safe, get a 400watt power supply. Great prices and deals. And super, super fast shipping. Comes earlier than expected. I personaly would recommend 500watts. That's plenty of power.

Good Luck.

P.S.

Take a look at this one. If your on a budget just to let you know, this one below is only $55.00!!!!!!
That's a bargin!

Good Luck again and let us know how it turns out.

dells use proprietary power supplies so putting any atx powersupply could fry your whole setup...either contact dell or buy a powersupply from pc power & cooling.

either way its going to be expensive.

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
