BTW, these are from a local store, I'd like these over the weekend when I want it, as opposed to newegg.com where I don't know how long it takes (UPS sucks for my area, even though my friend owns/runs a store), and I don't wanna RMA or anything like that, even though it'll cost up to 75% more for each thing (cept for the PSUs).
 
Hey, make sure before you buy your PSU, to check which side the power connector, which connects to the c cable for power, is on. I know on my Dimension 8300, dell doesnt use standard PSU's that you can buy from newegg, to stop the tampering, and in result, the power for the c cable connector was on the other side of a standard psu, you can buy from many online stores. Also, take this into consideration, not to burst your bubble or anything, but here goes. There have been many reports of users trying to change their PSU's from dimensions to standard ones that you can buy off newegg or other retailers. In result their motherboard blew. The reason is because dell specializes everything, from psu to motherboard to work with each other, and only to work with the brand they put in. If you buy your own, you run the risk of that one giving too much power to the motherboard, in result it might render the mobo dead. I am not saying this will happen, but it is a risk you take, and it may very well happen. Research ALOT first. This does not however, and most likely include the video card, memory, and processor, as those are extremely interchangeable in dell dimensions. The motherboard and the power supply are what can give you trouble in switching out.
 
Worst case is I drop 25-50 for a cheap 478 socket mobo, and then I'll be able to OC further / my CPU at least...:-D.
