Default Power supplies in modern Dell beasts

So far, I've worked out that the XPS Gen 2, 3, 4, 5 and XPS 600 all have
the odd-shaped power supply that sits at the bottom. And they all have
a more-or-less ATX form factor motherboard. Any other models fit this
description, i.e. this same combo of PSU and mobo form factors?
Thanks... Ben Myers

like there are also some Precision models with a brick-shaped power
supply on the bottom.

Ben-

I'd reached the same conclusion; that it would have to be a Precision model.

Since I almost never see PWS here, I don't know.

You might try cross-referencing PWS model numbers with ebay listings. Not an
exact science but maybe a start.

I got nuthin'.

Thank you. That adds to my options for matching PSU with mobo... Ben
