I'm not so sure you can use the dell power supply. Dell uses a non standard ATX connections. it's been said that a standard PS will burn a dell MoBo. The connectors are identical.
You should verify the voltages with a meter. To energize the PS outside the case you jumper pins 14 to 13-or-15 normally but there's no guarantee it will be the same on the dell.

I'm sure your power supply will 'not' have the connections for a P4.
