Quote:Dell's cases and power supplies are somewhat proprietary, so I don't think you can just plop any old motherboard from off the shelf into your Dimension. Even if you could get one to fit, they screw up the pin-outs on their power supplies just enough that it won't work. This was the case (haha!) a few years ago; they may have changed their policy by now.

Just something to think about.:)

I'm not sure that's really true. Everything in the Dimension desktop is pretty much standard issue. I replaced the power supply and video card last year even, by going to Fry's Electronics and buying something - easy.

Perhaps the mother board is a different matter, but I think some of the common wisdom that Dell computers are made with customized parts to prevent ordering upgrades from anyone but Dell is a bit outdated.
