Dell to ATX Power Supply Converter

Has anybode got a wiring diagram or can you make it for me for the above mentioned object I found on http://www.endpcnoise.com/cgi-bin/e/std/sim_search=dell%20power%20supply.html
I tried to order that thing but the site says that there was a mistake by calculating the shipping costs.

I'm living in the Netherlands so it is not an option to go tot Canada and buy it there.

Please help.

Thank you for your answer.

My PSU is still working, but I want to put a standard ATX PSU in my Dell computer that has got +- 300 Watt. It is a Dell Dimension XPS T500 with a 200 Watt PSU. A standard ATX PSU does not fit because the wiring is completely different. That is why I asked if anybode had the wiring diagram for the connector that is shown on the site I put in my earlier mail.
How many Watt is your PSU and are the 2 connectors for the motherboard present? If it is less then 300 Watt I don't need it.

Greetings
I have the same problem.

disconnect the both the power supply wires from the mb ,
then short out the yellow and purple wires with tweezers or paper clip and watch the fan does it turn for a few seconds , if so the power supply is **t shutting down and is very likely ok.

If you need a supply with those conectors I have one for 5.00 and shipping ,I take paypal.
send me a tech buddy request on this forum for email.
I''v seen the pi**uts somewhere but that was many years ago and **body uses that supply much anymore.
I have ** idea what it cost to send a suppy to you.
those adapters came out late in the product life.

I found it weird that so far 2 of my posts had the **'s in it.
it makes it hard to read, I really did type it correctly.
The one I have is the old version shipped with the computers something around 200 watts.
as I was trying to say I have seen the wiring diagram posted before on the internet but that was a very long time ago.
you might try google searching dell atx pinout.
I found some that might answer your issue.
