Current Mobo Pics

~~connor-53~~ · 03-20-2009, 03:53 PM

Here are the current pics of my mobo, people are telling me it won't fit into any case because it is a Dell. Well I know for sure it is a mATX, and I am convinced it will fit in the case. I know the screw holes line up but I don't understand why it would not fit? Anyway the pics are in a thumbnail.

also if you are 100% sure they won't fit please tell me why. This is a good mobo and gpu I would not want to waste it.

More pics (I can only attach 2 at a time)

So like I said, I think it should fit in a case like this:

Dude .............. stop twisting yourself ............... buy a case and install your board ......... you're gonna have to buy a case regardless what you do , right ?

Look at the Coolermaster centurion about $50.00 ............. that case will handle either m/atx boards or full sized atx boards ................

I will await your report .........

Ok lol because the last thing I want to so is get a new mobo and processor. I already have a new processor and don't want to risk having that not work or not be compatible lol but I will buy a new one soon and see how it plays out :/ I am only 15 lol so I need to wait on someone to buy my stuff off of ebay so I can get money :)

Not so sure exactly model etc. I do know its a core 2 duo 2.8 ghz. It is very good in my opinion. It wasn't made for my computer (neither are any of the otehr parts I added) but it did fit and it worked. Like I said I have a piece of **** optiplex gx280 office computer but I rigged it to a decent computer, it came with 512 mb of ram and a 35 gig hd lol! It now has 2.5 Gigs of Ram and a 250 Gig HD

EDIT: Might be this

I will open up my PC tomorrow and check to be sure.

you will need a input / output shield that fits your motherboard to put into the new case ????? the dell board doesnt have a removable one to bring to your new case ?

then go to our building forum ............... look inside the bench test sticky .............. pay attention to what the wires look like that come from the case to power button and so forth ............ then look at the plug you have that connects the dell case to the dell motherboard ............ hmmmmmmmmmmmm

**linderman** · 03-20-2009, 07:02 PM

dont have to open your system .................... use cpu-z (free download) then look at the cpu tab ................ I'll bet its a pentium D

I would like to keep it but if there is no possible way of it happening then I guess I am not....

**linderman** · 03-20-2009, 07:33 PM

if you want to keep it .............. then the answer is do nothing and keep using it as is ............ you cant use any better or dual core cpu's with it ????

therefore this board has ZERO upgradability with maybe exception of faster P4 prescott ......... which would be a total waste of $$$$$$
