Yabbut ... Dell doesn't use standard parts. They use their own
proprietary parts which cost the earth to replace. I discovered this
when an acquaintance asked me to replace the power supply in his Dell.
Only a proprietary component would work, and it had to be ordered from
Dell at an insane markup over off-the-shelf power supplies.
I would never buy a Dell.
