Dell 8250 - ATX?

TonyI · 03-18-2008, 07:24 AM

Hi all! I've been researching moving the internals of my old Dell 8250 to another (smaller) case. Through this forum and other sources, I believe I'm getting closer to figuring this out.

General question - Is there anyway to confirm that the mobo in my 8250 is a "standard" ATX? I've tried the dell specs and internet and have not found anything yet. Once I determine this, I'll start looking for a new case (e.g. newegg.com, eBay, etc.)

Any help/advice is appreciated.

If you want a much smaller case try eBay and use the Hijackthislog and it should show you.

Well you could measure your board and cross check them with other boards. Might work :)

hijackthis wont do much its for security things. if you mean to get system information everest works better but isnt needed. alright it is an ATX motherboard. personally i wouldnt use ebay for computer stuff just because its hard to know how smart the person on the other end is. i would use (for cases) newegg.com, performance-pcs.com, frozencpu.com, xoxide.com, mwave.com, tigerdirect.com. those shops should serve most if not all computing needs :)
