Tower ECT1250 Upgrading PSU
1. I've seen a few posts recommending the 460w HU460EBS-00 PSU via Dell, but am unable to find this part on the official site. They list a 460w PSU (Dell part CPX-0FFD6) is that the same thing (I also see a 500w Dell part CPX-5K7J8)? And if not, is Ebay the only solution for acquiring the 460w HU460EBS-00 PSU?
2. Are there any better/safer upgrades than the above, or has anyone had success with a particular product?

you can use these for ECT1250
Inspiron 3020/3030 460W PSU =
4H6F4 Acbel
5W40K Huntkey
VTG94 Chicony
Dell 460W Power Supply | Dell USA is incorrect. that is an ATX psu for older Dell XPS 8700 etc.
Dell 500W Power Supply | Dell USA is also incorrect. that is Dell TFX psu for XPS8940 etc.
ECT and the other new dells use proprietary SFX psu

@treckle so far it’s been good, I haven’t seen any issues on my end. It’s mostly related to my graphics card arm with the drivers I think. It fits straight in with no issue. You can use the same screws as well (Althought they give you some in case and some zip ties).

Don't buy the one I linked earlier. It's not a match. I'm returning it.
