Well, still working on upgrading my alternate system. Since discovering that Dell make their PSUs proprietary, making it so you'd have to upgrade both mobo and PS before upping the wattage I began to look for alternatives and discovered this http://www.endpcnoise.com/cgi-bin/e/dellconverter.html

It sounds all fine and rosy but I wanted to see if anyone has ever done or heard of this method before going ahead and buying both the adapter and a new power supply. Would the new PSU simply fit in where the old one was or would it be external? The description itself isn't exactly user-friendly for newcomers so I'm a little confused as to how it works. Anyway guys, any help appreciated as always.
