i have a 250w power supply and i need a 400w or 500w to get a geforce 8800 video card but i cant find any place online that sells them except the "ULTRA-QUIET DELL PSU: SILENCER® 410 DELL-2" and i dont even know if thats the right thing to get.....so can some one help me?
why don't you get a normal power supply?
dell computers need special power supplys

Surely you can get one directly from Dell?
or maybe they'd prefer you to buy a new computer from them.......
Dell are a pain in the arse like that, they dont allow the user to do their own upgrades.
i looked on dells web site and i couldnt find anything...as long as the ULTRA-QUIET DELL PSU: SILENCER® 410 DELL-2 thing is correct i will just use that so if you can tell me if thats the right thing that would be cool
I haven't got a clue, contact Dell and ask if you can buy one from them, or if that power supply is right... I don't deal with Dell for the very reason that they try to monopolise.
What kind of dell do you have? is it an inspiron or a optiplex and what model number is it?
Chances are it will not fit as dells use bespoke parts for each model but i can try and find out for you.
Simple answer to this problem: Electric Drill.
Just drill the holes for the new PSU, easy enough.

Check the pinout of the original PSU if you're doing this, not sure if it's still the case but there was a time that Dell PSU's had standard 20 pin ATX connectors but with a non standard pin configuration.Simple answer to this problem: Electric Drill.

Compaq did it as well, makes getting a replacement very difficult.

or get one of these if you have a spare 5+1/4 in bay.

The retail at around £32
You can source parts direct from dell for not too unreasonable prices if you ring them up.
Any of these do?
