    I need some DELL power supplies for an ebay experiment.

    I currently bought a power supply tester to start reselling some of the better power supplies on ebay. What I need is someone who tears apart alot of dells that might have 10 power supplies they would be willing to sell me. They need to be sata power supplies. I will pay the shipping on this experiment. So if you just scrap them and would be willing to drop a box of 10 of them off at fedex ill prepay a label and pay $3 each for them. If this experiment works. I would like to add these to things I buy for more than scrap value and depending on what they sell for could be more than $3 each.

    That's only the older ones. The new ones are standard... I have a few... I think it was around the P2 or something maybe Pentium I had one at some point.

    Something to add to my birthday list..ha.

    I'll save up any dells for you for the future, otherwise I got a local guy who buys the other brands off me for better then scrap..3.00+ tho might be a offer I couldn't refuse. Either way good luck with the testing, I know I'm one of many Interested in the results. So get cracking man...!

    Would that tester be capable of doing server power supplies? I have 6 power supplies from Dell Poweredge 2600 and 4600's. Let me know if you are interested.

    I use mine all the time they come in very handy, just be careful where the 20/24 Pin connector plugs in. Most have a tight fit and it can pull the tester apart, if that part is not screwed together.
    I have been using my CoolMax tester for 6-7 years and never had any problems with it.
