Firstly, the only thing proprietary in a Dell system these days are the front panel connectors, but IMHO they are doing what should already be in place as standards.

Secondly, you may have a problem upgrading the power supply. Personally I have never worked with any BTX style Dell system before(my dell is a generation or two older the first BTX styles Dell started using) so I do not know how exactly it is setup.

What do you mean by "from what I can tell the Power supply isn't pushing it enough." What exactly is it doing?
