The Dell PSU is thicker than the aftermarket ATX units so the swap doesn't work the other way sometimes. Also Dell makes the cables just the right length for each Dell system so you can have issues there depending on which harness you get.
The Dell PSUs are multi rail. the power from the T5500 2nd CPU connector might not be available to power other devices depending on which rails are going to it. A single rail aftermarket PSU has all the power available at all the connectors as needed. It's more of a "universal" solution. But the T5500 PSU is a known solution as long as you get the wiring harness with the extra connectors.
