i ahve a dell 4700 and had the exact same problem. wat u want to do is find a psu with a 24-pin connector or a 20 pin that has the 4 pins detachable. buy it from newegg.com cause they have a wide selection and very good prices. but be careful when buying. sometimes the description wil say its onyl a 20 pin eventhought it actually has 4 detachable. so make sure u look over the pictures and if u can actually count the amoutn of pins on the connector.

Just to be warned- watch it, that PSU may be too big for the opening in the Dell case, because my friend had to saw off part of his case to get the PSU to fit in...

Really?? They must have redone their cases so they fit more things, because his was like 4 years old.
