    I want to buy the 240w Alienware psu. Can anyone point me in the direction of the right one and what modifications, if any will be required. I want to overclock my 940xm and have capacity to do graphics card upgrade. Also I think it is smaller than the asus brick?

    Thanks for the links and info. Wanted to crack open my G73 adapter to see what was involved. Stupid question....how do you open. Are the screws under the label or rubber feet. Or do I open simply be splitting at the joint in the casing?

    screws are under the rubber feet, you dont have to remove label.

    Finally got around to buying the dell psu. There is mention of some pictures showing the mod in the psu on the forum but I cannot find them. Any chance someone can point me in the right direction?

    The Dell pay had three wires, green (not used), white is power and black is ground. UN solder the leads of the plug.

    The Asus had two black and white. White is power and black ground.
