375w PSU sufficent for XPS 420?

Yeah agreed if Dell is selling it with a 375W PSU then I think it will be enough

I dont see why they would put an under powered PSU in a computer if they are the ones that are going to have to replace it

update:

I got this out of a dell rep. (used a fake name, because I had harrassed one of them earlier under my real name lol):

So, worse come to worse: I got a gaurentee on the specific issue if I need to get my money back. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Throw some Orthos, ATITool, a thorough virus scan, and a Blu-Ray movie at it at the same time and see how well the PSU handles it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Excellent point, but I don't think Dell would put that in there if they knew people wouldn't abuse it somehow. Company that big doesn't get there by replacing components left and right.

Would you say that about HP ? Their power supplies fail left and right and they're bigger than Dell //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Touche. But Dell could just have a better build house for their PSU's. Feh.
