atf THis is definitely my thoughts as well. In the 'good old days' even a 200w was alright but now I think that a good quality 450w is only about average. Mine is a 750w thermaltake toughpower with modular cables hehehehe skite;)
Hi aragami - still possible you are right also (2 problems?)
I don't know about the dell psu thing but wouldn't it be just a bork! way of treating customers if they used special plugs on the cables? Just to upset them if they did I would take the trouble of trying to fix the problem by soldering correct plugs on - mobo. would be a problem if that were not standard sockets. If this were the case I would buy something else next time that is not designed to keep all sales of components to dell. The other proprietry things such as drivers is also annoying but can be explained a bit by stopping amateurs playing around. I used to make batch files to cover this in the past when I sold systems to bring them back to the way that I had them setup.
I'll vote for the Power Supply.
I'm surprised it boots at all, if it's a 250watt ps, with that video card.
I had to upgrade from an Antec 400 to a PC Power and Cooling 510 Deluxe 650 peak at 50C.
The PC had 1 gig 3200 Mushkin, 3200AMD, old TI4600nVidia and 2 hard drives. The Antec couldn't handle the 400 FSB, BSOD would not even finish the OS install. The Abit NF7S could not tolerate low rails, although they were in spec +-5%, from the bad Antec junk supply. Just a picky mobo.
Dell power supplies at PC Power and Cooling, excellent choice, they are made for Dell's.
This is one part I would not try to get around with a Dell mobo.
They are a bit pricey 149.00 for 470 watts at 40C and +-5% on the rails.
Be sure the Power Supply case dimensions match if you’re using a Dell case.
By the way, insufficient power can devastate the hardware, this is one of the few times a BSOD is welcome.:)

Mine is a nice case - female friendly as well ... rofl ..... My wife said 'NOT FUNNY' ... she has bad taste..
900 front fans - just replace them with 400mm ones...& dig out a old paint brush & modify it. Note: one silly idiot did do this & showed his pride & joy on the forums. I think the thread broke 500 posts rofl.
Uh just a guess - asusbytes err - gigabytesasus um - asusbytesgiga no - asus/gigabytes err run out of puff.
it-estate have been great with me & I can recommend umart sydney (not the others) & extremepc owned by a rampant overclocker. Yeah, lots of users on pcpowerplay.com.au swear by them - not at them :-8
245T - you will have to put up with your yum cha ricey chimei for awhile then while I am enjoying the beastly beauty of my lowly 244t????
I just airbrushed mine blue transparent paint - I was going to drill out the little lcd & replace it with a green one but then I thought, hang on, if I super glue the wires on maybe it would be a bad elect. contact. UH, what does yuz thunk dude? :3
I was referring to your antec nine hundred & mods. I said - take out the front fans & replace them with 400mm fans (or a desk fan) - you think?
I suggested 215t s to a few guys on my other main forum & so far 3 have bought them & are more then happy with them (esp. when they wanted to buy things with chimei panels in them). They now go on about them possibly more then me with mine..... I'll have to ask about the blue lcd (or tell them about my method).
