    I have to give back Dell the whole AW17 2013, including psu 240w ...

    (PSU 180W seems enough for my needs, no slowing down when gaming Skyrim.)

    That's awesome! We're glad that our proposal was good for you.
    I appreciate the time you took to start this thread just to thank DELL for the support you have received.

    This afternoon, LTM carrier sent by DTW logistics, got my AW17 ranger 2013
    back to Dell.

    still free of charge.

    that's a really good service, Dell.

    :)
