Replacing Pwr Supply

  Hello,

 

        I have a question on my pwr supply.  I have a Dell 2100 with a 1 gig Celeron and of course it's 2 months past it's one yr warranty. Well today I started it up and the screen blinked the fan started and then nothing, Checked the cord etc, and have power there so I guess it has to be the power supply.

 

   Anyway My question is :  Are these Dell specific only Pwr Supplies or can I just buy one at my corner store and plug it in?  I had heard at one time Dell moBo's used only Dell style pwr supplies due to wiring difference's and curious if this is still true. Don't want to plug a standard supply in and blow my mobo.

 

  Should would be a lot cheaper to buy one here, no shipping to have to pay....

 

  Thanks !

    i dont think a standard ATX power supply will work on your pc.pcpower and cooling sells the dell power supplies because they are proprietary.i just did their power supply configuratpr home>dell>2100 and it said "Silencer® 275 Dell Power Supply" (Requires our standard Dell wiring harness. Call 800-722-6555 for details.) hope it helps
