Replacement PSU for Dimension 8300.
Hi all,
I have a Dimension 8300 and the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card conked out and the computer is also out of warranty. So I rdered a Sapphire Radeon 3650 HD AGP graphics card as a replacement. However I realised later on that Sapphire recommend a PSU of 500W or above! Can anyone please recommend a good quality replacement PSU of 500W or above for Dimension 8300?
Regards.

Most standard generic ATX power supplies, with a 20-pin or 20+4-pin main motherboard connector and without the on/off switch, can be installed in the D-8300.
If you use a PSU with the switch, then you will have to modify the back panel of the case, by cutting a hole for it.
You can buy a 500w 8300 compatible power supply from here.

Thanks for your reply. That indeed looks like an excellent replacement for the currsnt PSU on my D8300. As I am based in the UK so I googled to find UK based resellers/distributors without much success. Even the PCPower website does not have it in stock, talk about being out of luck!
Cheers.

Thanks for that. I also found out after using the graphics card that it runs just fine on the stock power supply. However, I've now made a note of the model that you provided inthe link in case it is needed in the near future!
Thanks.
