I just purchased a new Antec power supply for my Dimension, so it would
support the
two new 300 Gig Maxtor drives. The old one worked but is labeled as 200
watts.
I purchased a 430 watt Antec, it fits just fine. But there is no power at
all coming from
it when installed. Per the email from Antec, their supplies only work with
newer Dell
Computers (less than 18 months old). I need to get a "Dell Power Supply
Adapter"
which they do not sell. They suggested E-Bay. I have not been able to find
such item.
I have replaced the supply with the original Dell, and things work fine,
with the extra
drives unplugged. Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
