Aurora R13, PSU dimensions
Aurora R13 750w psu
750W,M92DC,M2G8X,H750EPS-00
Size: 185*150*62mm
62 mm is the height of 460w, 750w, 1000w oem psu, and that is the proprietary size restriction.
It is possible that Dell designed this proprietary restriction so that there is no way an SFX psu (100 x 125 x 63.5 mm) can definitely fit R13 case inside the psu bracket, not to mention the classified proprietary pinout. So even if the pinout were deciphered, user still could not easily fit a non-Dell psu in R13 (or R15). bad dell.
There is a still way to fit an SFX psu if the psu bracket is removed.
PS there appears to be user misinformation of assuming ATX12VO pinout for Dell 10 pin psu. It is a known fact that Dell 10 pin is not ATX12VO.

I also believe you are right. The best current solutions are either purchase a Dell extended warranty or send the failed PSU to a third party PSU repair shop. Wait for them to fix it and mail it back which means your PC is out of commission until the part arrives. Yes, I agree, bad Dell. The R13/14 design in many ways is worse than the previous design after they hyped the design of the R13 and R14.

With the bracket removed a Silverstone SST-SX1000-LPT may just fit? Though the intake fan is either on the top/bottom depending on orientation. Maybe can cut a hole in the bottom of the metal and plastic for intake, otherwise its competing for air with the gpu. Next just the problem in coming up with a motherboard connector adaptor. So close in getting a 4080-16gb to work, oh well.
Or if you cut a big enough hole maybe you can sink the ATX lower 24mm to get it to fit

To my knowledge there is no law requiring that the PSU be inside the case.

The only concern would be you will not have a bond between the PSU and the rest of the system. This could lead to some interesting experiences.
