Speaking of Dell-specific topics, I do hope everyone knows about the  
nonstandard motherboard power wiring, combined with standard connectors,  
in Dell towers. No firsthand experience, but while they were doing this  
wicked deed (they became decent, afaik), a Dell power supply would destroy  
a non-Dell mo bo, and a non-Dell power supply would destroy a Dell mo bo.
