Buy! Buy! Buy! - into Openness (Linux Journal)

I think the OP overstated this, but I will say that Dell uses non-ATX power supplies and motherboards in their systems. For example, I'm wrestling with this right now with two older PowerEdge 400SC systems with failing power supplies. I can either buy another Dell PS or I can go to PC Power and Cooling to get a Silencer 410 for about $120.

If the 400SC could accomodate a standard ATX power supply, I could go with a Seasonic 330 (which would be a nice improvement over the stock noisy Dell 250) for $60 from Newegg.

Same basic problem with the mobo- not standard ATX so my options for replacing the P4/i875-based board are limited.
