Aurora-R7, 460w PSU dimensions and type (modular or not)

Thank you. That means I have to rewire it. In the meantime someone told me the size of the power unit so thats all.

cheers

On the 850 watt PSU are the modular connectors standard ATX pin-out to facillitate installing a better quality PSU or has Dell changed the pin-out on the ATX connector for their proprietary motherboards and power supplies?

There is no "Modular Connector and Pin-Out" industry-standard. When you swap modular power supplies to a different brand, you have to swap the wiring harness.

The only exception that I know of is if you swap a Dell/Alienware Huntkey 850w for a Dell/Alienware Delta 850w. MAYBE a Corsair for a Corsair (for example) but it's risky. If your "dice-roll" fails, components blow-up. 

Retail after-market case would get retail PS.

 can you tell me the measurements because i want to know if it will fit in a gaming case im buying 

Old thread I know, but this is still relevant.

Does Dell still use proprietary wiring on the motherboard? It became pretty well known that the connectors were the same, but the pins were wired differently after people fried their Dell motherboards by swapping in other brands of power supplies.
I'm not talking the connectors on the power supply itself. I'm talking how the wiring on the motherboard was set up. 
Say pin 1 is the same on every other brand of mother board and power supply on the market, but Dell had it as something else. So instead of a 5 volt pin it was a 12 volt.

Generally no. Dell hasn't really done that in well over 11 years. However, your question is vague. If you want to know about a specific model, ask.

I know XPS-410 was industry standard because I put a Corsair in mine. Others did also and have with other XPS models since.

I know Aurora R1-R7 use industry standard Power-Supply.

The recent business-class models look stock as well. Forum is full of guys swapping out OptiPlex PS for a bigger one.
