    As it's a Small Mini Tower, then the Dell power supply should be either a 250w, or a 305w. 

    Try opening the case and check the wattage of the installed unit.      :emotion-55:

    Looking at the specs on the supply in the mini tower it shows a 20 pin connector so would that not make it propritary?

    Shesagordie  is the expert on powersupplies you mentioned in your other treads that I answered that you had a min tower. So what she wrote is correct there is only small opening in the back just big enough for the power cord.

    What are you wanting to do with the system that you want to replace the powersupply?

    Sorry, cannot say, there is no information about the wiring harness, provided on Amazon's site.

    See HERE,

    If you use a power supply with the on/off switch in an Optiplex GX280 Small Mini Tower, you would need to modify the back panel, by cutting a hole for it.

    Hi ig neap, Your manual is HERE, and it says you have an 305w PSU and the PSU from Amazon is an 300w.
