Not true. Dell have a high quality control.

Dell parts may not be fast or flexible, but they work and rarely die.

Whats wrong with jou jye PSUs? i have a mate who has a 7 year old 500w psu still going strong. They are not massively mainstream but they work well.

Besides if i shopped around and got cheaper ram elsewhere, good deal on motherboard/cpu or whatever i cud probs squeeze one of the antec NSKs in there.

That was merely a demonstration to prove its possible to do what Dell do.

Also like to point out that dell use a 128mb card whears the one i picked is 512. i know it makes no difference in real life but BANG few more quid dropped off. If i could find one that was 128 it would be like a tenner.

The more i actually look into it the less impressed i am with dell TBQH

No offence it might not be a brand name one but its not gonna be that much worse than a Dell PSU...

Dell's power supplies are much more reliable than a lot of the no-name brand power supplies you see on the market. It's actually a bit of a myth that dell uses substandard hardware.

For an OEM, it makes no sense to cut corners on the power supply to save money. It's not in your benefit financially to be replacing/repairing half the computers you sell under warranty.

My old dell psu was a liteon, I need a psu with a great put on the 12volt linbe so i bought a Enermax 720W infiniti. job done nicely.
But If the GFX didnt need that I would have changed.
as it was a perfectly good 550w liteon as standard
