Upgrading Vostro 200 Mini Tower (Not Slim!)
Well, it appears that I may give the Vostro 200 Slim to my wife now that her Dell Laptop (3 yrs old, great performer nonetheless) is beginning to have keyboard problems. This time around I'm going to get the normal tower... Does anyone know if the 300 PSU have an extra 6 pin power cable, or will I need to find a VGA card that does not require outside power? I'm trying to get an HD3850, but if no extra cable is available I'll go for the hd3650 from Dell.

It appears that the Vostro 200 Mini Tower's 300w power supply does not have the six pin connector.
See here.

However, on this model, it is possible to replace the PSU isn't it? Looking at the MOBO diagram shows a normal ATX connection and it's a normal sized unit. I may replace it with a 575W unit and slap in a HD3850 that'll smoke the 8600GT I had to put in the Slim.
