Re: 350W PSU on a new dell??

Luke, as mentioned by my team mates, that is not much power. What Dell does is put the very basic of everything in their units and if you want to upgrade to a better video card, or to add something to upgrade, then the power supply won't cut it. Aha, no problem they sell them at a very high price. There is also as mentioned the wear factor. A power supply that is so close to the edge in power will wear out faster than one that has a lot of power.

I doubt if it will die in the short term as long as you don't change anything out for something better, but buyer beware if you choose to upgrade or add some gadget that pulls some power.
