In addition, Bunn has heavy duty coffee makers especially for high-altitude. So if you're looking for a heavy duty Bunn coffee maker, any of the commercial models are for you.

Is it suited for home use? Yes, we have drawn some great characteristics of the heavy duty coffee makers from Bunn that shows it content to suit for house use.

Construction:   
This isolated container holds coffee at an unexceeded temperature for about 2 hours and lets you avert the burnt or cooked taste many heated glass carafes produce. The thermal carafe is double-walled, dishwasher safe, and is topped with a convenient close-and-brew lid.
Carafe

The Bunn BTX is equipped with a stainless steel carafe. It's vacuum isolated, so you never have to worry about your coffee getting cold. You don't even have to use a warmer which could overheat your coffee.

If the cerafe gets dirty, then you can toss it in because it is dishwasher safe. It has comfortable to grip plastic handle and a short, somewhat firm pouring spout. Because of its unusual design, this spout allows for comfortable pouring and is almost splatter free.

Tank

The stainless steel tank can hold at its maximum 50 ounces of water at a time. It's quite simple to fill the tank thanks to the fact that it's on top and to the back of the brewer. The tank is also fitted with an internal thermostat. It services to assure that the water remains 200 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the ideal brewing temperature for coffee.

Heat

The Bunn BTX is powered by an 800-watt heating element. When the brewer is first powered on, it takes about 15 minutes for the water to reach the ideal brewing temperature. As long as the machine receives power, the heating element will ensure that the water stays on heated and always brew coffee within 3 minutes. Every time the vacation switch is activated this brewer will require another 15 minutes to heat the water when the machine is turned on again.

Plate:

The thermal carafe will keep your coffee warm for hours without catering any heat. And, if you rinse the inside with hot water just prior to brewing coffee, you can improve heat retention even further.

Filtration:

It is urged that you use filtered water for brewing, which will enhance the coffees flavor. If there is no water filtration system in your household try using bottled water or attaching a filter to your tap.

Brew

The Bunn BTX brews coffee very rapidly. It brews anywhere from four to ten cups in more or less three minutes. Since the water is already heated, you simply have to fill the filter and close the lid to start the brewing process. It is also advocated that you rinse the inside of the carafe with hot water prior to brewing coffee, which will serve to keep the coffee warmer for a longer period of time.
Vacation

As you just learned, the Bunn BTX perpetually heats the water in the stainless steel tank. Moreover, this is waste if you're not going to be using the machine for a few days. In this case, you can simply use the vacation switch to turn the heater off in the tank.

Can you tell me what size the power supply is in a Dell dx4720-03?

I want to upgrade but don't know if I need an atx, micro-atx, atx/btx or what

I've found a thousand links that give no useful information:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883113078

I opened the case and looked at it and there were no useful clues
oh yeah, Gateway, thank you!

That's not a Dell, it is a Gateway!
The power supply is only 300 watts and an ATX power supply should fit.

Here is a review on that PC:
