Dell Dimension PSU

Hi

I've got a Dell Dimension E521 (tower) where the PSU is making very strange noises so it needs replacing asap. Can anyone please advice on a replacement PSU that would work with this case?

Looking at the service manual - that seems to be a standard ATX PSU. Hence I would suggest installing a nice quality, good value PSU like one from the Antec High Current Gamer series.

If you don't plan on upgrading the graphics card - then the 400W version would be fine. However, I would suggest going for the 520W - since it is only £7 more at the moment and will allow you to upgrade the graphics card to pretty much any single-GPU card and will allow you to keep the PSI when you upgrade the rest of your system.

They dont take ATX PSU's. But if you want to cut it you can fit one.
