Possible to see what PSU wattage you have on R10 or R11?
I was looking to get a Alienware Aurora R10 or R11 but had a question about the PSU:
Is it possible to actually see the wattage / label physically on the tower? The reason I ask is because when I've looked up videos of these machines, it seems like even when you slide the side panel off and look at the swingarm holding the PSU unit, you can't make out the watts / sticker because it's blocked. Am I wrong, or is there no way to tell other then to unscrew the entire thing and take it out?
I know you customize the Aurora when you purchase it (so you can select the 1000w PSU), but for me it would be nice to double check that's what I got when I receive it, after spending so much on these. Maybe there is a way to look up wattage on the programs once you get it? I wasn't sure.
Thank you!

Okay thanks, maybe the cord / cable thing is a little over my head, but what you are saying (showing the Joe video) is that if the PSU case after opening up the tower, has a little silver square on the side there, it means it must be a 1000w PSU. That's correct? (Sorry for asking so many questions, I'm just trying to understand since I spent a lot on this). So if you actually got a 550w, that little silver square on the swingarm PSU compartment wouldn't even be there.
Also do all 550ws come in that shorter case that's different? I don't really know much about PSUs so I didn't know if this is always the case (like any 1000w you get are always a lot longer then 550ws).

"Sorry but what does modular mean in this context?"
The cables can be removed and unplugged from the 1000w psu.
There's a pigtail of non-removable wires in the 550w psu.

I'm all set, I'll continue my research later. I get you are aggravated with me but I didn't save up $2k+ for nothing that took me forever, so I'm going to ask as much as I can and get help. Nothing wrong with that, I'm still learning.

Hi @Sticks404 nobody is aggravated with you, just pointing out that you have asked some questions more than once. The posts have concentrated on the Alienware Aurora R11, and information is sparse. Despite hours of online research, specific Aurora R11 PSU information was not discovered. The information that was discovered, has been posted in this thread, for the benefit of all Dell Community users. Hopefully, other users will join this thread and post the 'missing' information.
