But how often do you (need to) change power supplies in a computer?

I mean, I've owned about a dozen bought computers by now, and the
only supply I've changed was the noisy one in the Mac when Apple
offered a free "fix."  Note that "deal with the non-standard
connector" includes being careful enough to buy a Dell-specific
supply or adaptor; it need not mean building your own custom
connector.
