[ODIE009]

i am fixing my nephew a comp so he can get online, how would i hook up an older power supply from enlight corp model#en-825710 to a 2004 dell
motherboard

and welcome to the Forum

What model is the Dell PC?

[dai]

it comes up as an [at] psu not an atx power supply
if the power plug is 2 seperate plugs approx 1 inch long it is an at psu and you cannot fit to an atx m/b
it also comes up at as a 250w and would most likely be underpowered
if the dell is a p4 m/b an atx will run it
if it is older than the p4 the psu will be propriatory and will require a dell cabled psu
