So you've looked at the strange title and then seen that I'm reviewing a power cable! Now your wondering how I'm going to manage at least 120 words on a power cable. Well it's going to be easy seen as it's a......Dell.... power cable.

As fans of my reviews will know( do I have fans) I recently purchased a monitor from Dell. Well along with my monitor I got a basic package to run Office on because I do a lot of downloading and hate to slow the download down.

With my computer came a Dell power cable. Ok you can't really call it a Dell power cable but they do supply it so I'l blame them...

After unpacking my computer and plugging everything in I turned on the switch and..... well nothing. I checked all the wires and everything was plugged in so yet again I turned on the switch and.... well nothing again.

After inspecting the cables for a few minutes I found a complete break in the power cable! I ran to the switch and shut it off before continuing my investigation. The outside of the power cable was split and a number of wires on the inside had been broken.

I e-mailed Dell and they said "Were send you a brand new cable" Well I was over the moon... not!
I at least wanted a free bit of RAM... My life was put in danager because of a dodgy power cable but because Dell didn't know where the problem happened they couldn't do anything but send out a new cable.

A standard power cable costs around £5 or comes free with a monitor or case. If your ordering over the internet be sure to take a quick look at your order before signing it. Ok you might delay the driver a bit but who cares! It's your order.

I'm very unimpressed with this power cable. It should be much stronger.

sounds crap, The Computer Shop gave me a free printer just because they forgot to send me a mouse with my laptop, which i don't get as you don't need a mouse to use it, ah well i'm not complaining.
