Heya all,

I got a really interesting dual slot 1 RDram based system, it's a dell 028VCG motherboard from a precision 220 computer. I didn't realise it needed a special dell PSU with an aux 6 pin connector. Do I really need to find an old dell PSU for this or can I mod a normal psu to work with it?

Thanks for any info,
