Does the Dell Dimension 4700 use a standard PSU?

Starting a decade or so ago, a few OEM's decided to use non-standard pin-outs for their PSU's (power supply units) and designed their motherboards to match.

I did a bit of research online finding no *solid* answers telling if the Dimension 4700 was a "DELL Special PC" or if it was a standard ATX PC with a DELL badge.

After comparing the pin layout on the original PSU (0Y2103 Rev A01, Model No.: PS-6311-1DS) with the pin layout on a CoolMax V-400, the verdict is:

YES! The Dell Dimension 4700 uses standard ATX PSU using the 24-pin ATX connector.

Someone somewhere will find this useful. Enjoy your week gang.

Netboot Installs

After hunting for a simple solution to netbooting-via-TFTP, I've found a document that uses one linux package for tftp, dhcp and dns: dnsmasq.
