I bought the Inspiron because Costco had a very, VERY good price for all the features that comes with it (including warranty). I figured I would just buy a decent video card and be done with it. So I bought a SAPPHIRE 100315L Radeon HD 6850 but soon discovered that the 580 comes with a very underpowered (by today's standards) power supply (250w). I found tons of articles about its weak power supply and a few recommendations but nothing about the COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M700. I have had very good experiences with Cooler Master stuff in the past so I bit without any testimonials that it actually worked together. Although it fits VERY snuggly (the spring tabs that hold the OEM power supply in place can't latch onto the M700) it worked just fine.

Well now when Google crawls my website, other people will know that:

"The Dell Inspiron 580 is compatible with the COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M700 and together they can support the SAPPHIRE 100315L Radeon HD 6850 just fine.
