Power Supply
I'm a little confused. I have a old Dimension 8200 and everyone says that Dells power supply's are propiatory. But if you look at the pin outs in the on line manuals here, they appear to be standard ATX and then when I was looking at adapters for the Dell power supplies here http://www.endpcnoise.com/cgi-bin/e/std/sku=dellconverter they say at the bottom of the page :
Known exceptions:
Pentium 4 Dell Models that do not require a power supply adapter:
Dell Dimension 4300, 4400, 4700, 8200, 8300, OptiPlex GX 400
Does ALL this mean I can use a Standard ATX Power Supply ?

The PSU's in the Dimension systems, prior to these systems are not standard and are proprietary.
There are some models, where a power supply with the on/off switch can be used without having to modify the back panel
The Dimension 4700, 8400 systems and above, use the newer standard ATX [24-pin motherboard power connector] power supplies.
