For the price after Rebate, the Red PCP&C Silencer 750 is a great deal. Its $79.99 After Mail In Rebate, and $119.99 Before, so its a pretty good buy. If your not into the MIR thing, then the Corsair 750-TX would be your best bet. Waiting for the rebate though would get you a little cheaper price overall, but thats after weeks of waiting.

Get yourself one of these and forget about splicing altogether. Just use the rocker switch on the psu... http://www.dangerden.com/store/produ...&cat=89&page=1

Black paint costs $15 more than red paint. There is no problem with the PCP&C 750. The unit has been on the market for a couple of years...

All you have to say is "check the link below my sig for details".

Why spend $70-$75 on that when he could just get a whole new good 750W PSU for $100? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139006

here you go, you should be able to figure it out with this. http://www.smpspowersupply.com/ATX_p..._schematic.pdf Additional Comment: yes there is a way, the complicated part is getting it to turn on and off with the power/reset button. If you are willing to cut/splice wires i will tell you how...if you dont want the hassle, you already know how to spend money..also adding a ps to your case will add additional heat, please consider this...

Yes i read the thread name however its advise! i would not risk 2 power supplies however someone on this forum said it would so yeah try it but make sure you keep on checking the pc to stop it from running if it goes horribly wrong. Additional Comment: parado is saying the same as what i said anyway but you have a go at me dont you! we are entitiled to giving help on the topic and advise that will be better off!

Sure it can be done, the question is whether or not it's worth doing. I do understand though that you'll probably not want to throw away the money you put into the Dell, and yes, it's a shame. I'm just afraid that Dells aren't very suitable for high(er than stock) performance parts, let alone if you want to overclock them.
