In my experience, Dell machines don't take industry standard parts. If a
power supply fails, you need a Dell power supply, and one for that
particular model, as they are not necessarily the same from model to
model.
I prefer machines that use standard ATX power supplies, standard CD/DVD-RW
drives, etc. And, because I usually need a certain number of PCI or PCI-e
slots, serial ports, and what not, I often prefer to build my own machines
around motherboards of my choosing.

Страна трудовая поёт.
