Question:

power cable the same?for dell?

my friend has a dell that has a btx mobo. the power supply looks like all the other power supplys. will getting a regular power cord at radio shack fit and work with the dell power supplys. the cables that come out of the supply are all the same as usual ones.

Answer:

You will most likely be fine, but check the power rating. If you look at the back of the PC, just below the power cable install you will see a rating for voltage. The cable should match that voltage. I cannot imagine that any power cable for a PC would be higher or lower than the standard, at least if you are in the US.
the power cord for most all power supplies are universal.
if it's a laptop most dell models use the same. desktops they all use the same.
Which end of the power supply are you talking about? Are you talking about the end that goes from the outlet to the back of the computer? Then yes, it should be fine. * * *
