You can get an adapter to use a standard ATX powersupply in your 4100. Look under OEM REplacement here:

Any ATX powersupply should fit your case without any problems, you need the adapter to connect to the Dell motherboard. A good 300W powersupply should provide plenty of power for your 4100.

Is there a reason you require 400W, or is your current PSU failing?  With the setup you described, you should be able to use their 275W that comes with Dell wiring already in place (use their PSU selector tool).  Considering the age of the machine, this may be the more economical route, unless you're planning a future need that will require the 400W ATX.
