Measuring fans?
My case has room for more fans for several sizes, and has these clip on type brackets that you just stick the fan into. How do I measure the brackets to know what kind of (size) fan to fit into them? Sorry for the vagueness Thanks!

New PSU for Dell 4600
I want to get a better PSU for my Dell. I currently have a 250w one and would probably be getting something like a 350w or 400w. And from what I heard, some Dells have proprietary PSU's, so where can I find out if my computer has one of them?
