Can you fit this motherboard in a Dell Optiplex GX280 SFF case?
I am just curious if this motherboard will fit in a Dell Optiplex GX280 SFF case. Here is the link to it http://cgi.ebay.com/MSI-785GTM-E45-AM2-AMD-785G-mi...
Thanks

The MB will probably fit in the Dell case, but...
There will be an issue with the front panel connectors Dell molds them together into a unit plug (like an ide connector) instead of having individual wires for power, speaker, reset, etc. I don't think you can separate the wires to them to the new motherboard pinouts.

Why in the heck would you want to do that in the first place? The GX280 is a Pentium 4 computer. It's not worth it to dump any money into it. As for the board, it might fit, but the backplate for the ports is not removable on the Dell, so it would be pretty ugly assuming it does fit.

Definitely not. Dell cases and motherboards are proprietary. Other motherboards will not fit.
