DELL XPS 700 Desktop PSU

[freakytiki4u]

I have a motherboard from a DELL XPS 700 desktop tower. This motherboards power supply connections can be seen here ---> http://support.dell.com/support/edoc....htm#wp1060771 This particular motherboard has 2 power supply connections. 1 being a standard 24 pin and the other a non-standard 20 Pin (gotta love Dell.) Could I use a standard power supply for the 20 pin if I rewired it and if so, how would I wire the 20 pin connection?

Seems odd that a single socket motherboard needs two atx connections.

Looking at specs, you need a 1 KW PSU or 750W PSU. The pin layout on power1 are not the same as power2.

You could splice it doing a solder job or using wire taps/nuts, You have the pin lay outs on both, I don't see why not just use a high enough PSU like a 750 would do it.

Frankly I would just buy the proprietary PSU off ebay or google shopping or some where and when you get it, test it and then recap it.
