Damn DELL!!!

[VolvoR]

Ok, I know I shouldn't complain when someone donates a Dell XPS to me, but....
There's no power cord!! It's not your usual power cord, the plugs on the PSU are SIDEWAYS!!! WTF?? I can't find one of these things on Dell's site. Does anyone have any suggestions? Besides replacing the PSU that is! It's a 1000 watt unit, and I'd like to keep it the way it is...
Here's a pic!!!

Thanks

All of them (99%)are made in China or Taiwan. Even PC Power and Cooling.

That is just an extension in order to use a standard cord.

i saw that but the one paul johnson (or was it jackson...) posted is cheaper.

and paul, I am serious that she has a 350w mustang psu, I know it sucks, but its a cheap rig, was free, and does what it needs to do.

and im not serious about it being made in the usa, im sure it was made in asia.

Yep, but it probably would work. I wonder why dell used that plug?

to be difficult, why else?

Dell didn't the OEM did. It is typically used in high current high uptime server based power supplies.

Oh. I thought it was a dell only thing I think it's the first time I've seen it.

No a few server power supply OEM's use them.

we ran into this same problem with our new nortel fiber switches @ my guard unit.
