[12345690]

So I have a very weak 250 watt psu in my dell inspiron 531s and i really dont need a gaming computer since i dont really play the latest demanding games, does anyone know where i can get a decent 300-400 watt psu anywhere, any help is greatly appreciated!

have you tried at newegg?

I would check craigslist for used ps. They always have some listed. Frys and newegg are benchmarks for pricing new. I just noticed a thermaltake 430w (very common unit) for only $20 used on craigslist. And an older antec 400w was only $12.

You didn't like the power supplies that were recomended to you on your other post?

make sure thats not one of the dell models that use a proprietory psu before buying a new psu
