Nah
They're just standard matx with an atx psu

>>60373581
What's with the stupid handle?

>>60373581
If it's a regular sized tower (which it looks like it is), either of them being proprietary should be extremely unlikely. Proprietary motherboards are practically unheard of, and proprietary PSUs are uncommon and unpopular these days (for obvious reasons).

Generally speaking, putting your own guts into a prebuilt's case should not be a problem; it's the other way around that can cause headaches.

dell optiplex cases and similar seem better than cheapo chink gayman races. Plus I also like the business aesthetics.
Might also want to get a lenovo thinkcentre.

>>60373872
dunno

>>60373833
>>60373875
I remember some prebuilts having propietary design mobos and psus some years ago (like 10, maybe 15, don't remember) so that's why I want to know.

Also eyeing this beauty but I think it might be too big

I have one anon, they have proprietary front headers. Avoid.

>>60374227
really?, fuck!

>>60374227
You can just splice them with standard ones.
At most you might not have front panel USB
But things like the power button and leds are easy

>>60374260
No joke.

>>60374263
>You can just splice them with standard ones
It's not that easy.

>At most you might not have front panel USB
That's pretty important.

I did that once, I don't recommend it, airflow was a huge problem.
>>60374295
It is exactly that easy, hell with enough time you could do it for just about all th3 connectors. Just need to get some cheap connectors for motherboard pins and you're all good.

>>60373872
>>60373965

I used to work on those in high school. It's a pull lever for the side panel. Replaces screws but is usually a pain.

>>60373581
I probably uses proprietary psu.
I got a motherboard/cpu of an optiplex 9010 and it was micro atx form factor. The 4pin and 24 pin were standard. The fan headers and front i/o were not. I was able to cut away the plastic on my front i/o pins and find which 2 were the power on.

>>60374658
that's fine as long as the dimensions are standard.

>>60373581
I have one rn. It's miniatx if I'm not mistaking. Drill out the HDD caddy, and you can fit a full size GPU in it. I'll post pics if you want.

>>60375238
Also standard PSU too. I have an evga 600w in there

>>60375238
post pics pls

>>60375238
are you sure it's not micro atx?

>>60374387
more of your pic pls?

Here. It's matx. Everything fits perfect once you drill the caddy out. You can mount two hdds in the lip under the DVD drive, and another in the empty extension bay.

Here's the HDD Mount. Had to bend it a little to make it fit. Slides right in tho. The fan is shoe goo'd down b/c thats where the caddy used to be.

>>60375372
>>60375402
Do you know which chipset is the motherboard?

Also does it only fit one front fan?

I was planning to fit a z77 matx motheboard inside it.

>>60375464
Sandy bridge. It's the stock mobo. It is mATX for sure. And I assume you could put another case fan if you modified the case some more. Get a modular power supply tho.

>>60373828
DELL is king of non-standard shit inside ordinary looking PC cases.

>>60375464
Something like this would fit. https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16813128894?nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-Mobile&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-Mobile-_-pla-_-Motherboards+-+AMD-_-N82E16813128894&gclid=CjwKEAjw3drIBRCOwfC-_qqyjQ8SJADvoWQpbaasZ-h5OUHCeEq_NFdUNoZlzyTfGlhR9WJRMlYqTRoCzs7w_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds was actually looking myself for a new Mobo. I5 2500 is gud, but I need more for my Vidya.

>>60375622
that's for amd.

>>60374387
How do you know what cable goes where though?

>>60375372
How did you manage to add that fan? I really fucking want to add one.

I also have 2 HDDs, and an SSD so I don't know where I would put them.
Maybe put the HDDs where the DVD drives are at, and the SSD right under with some velcro?

>>60373581
Yes, it's a standard mATX case.

However, note that there is only about 10" (25CM) between the back slots and the drive cage. I'm running a GTX1060 short, so it's not a problem for me.

>>60376750
I put 1 HDD where you can add another disc drive, another in this weird mount thing underneath the disk drive. I assume you could put a third where the disk drive is, but I don't have the panel that covers the bay. Also the fan is just shoe goo'd in. Works pretty good and if I ever need to remove it just gotta use a little force.

>>60376882
Where could one get those panels? If I can't can't find them anywhere I guess I could just use one of these.

Hot glue? I could probably use some cable ties or some shit.
My temps are not bad at all but it could be better.
Also I never knew that the motherboard had more then one fan header.

>>60375548
are you talking about the use of the BTX standard that you never knew was a standard because the only technology you know is gamer baby trash?

Also, referring to designs from the late 90's to 2001 is a pretty weak argument.

>>60379218
Awesome mate, thanks so much. I have a 7010 so I don't know if it'll work, although it looks pretty much the same as those machines so it may work.
Also if I put those covers I will be able to a HDD there?
Cheers.

>>60376719
You follow them back to their physical connection
A power button only has two danm wires
Usb is a bit more difficult but since usb connections are a standard you can find what individual wires go where with an online guide

Yee. Just tighten the screws up real good and it should work without the disk drive in it.

>>60379283
Awesome. I really hope that those covers work, I'll be a bit sad if they don't.
What made you take apart the whole case like that?

Nothing. Just taking pics. It all snaps together really quickly.

>>60379282
When the case is super convenient I don't mind. That and it has a really cool aesthetic. It's capable of heavy duty gaming, but fits in a nice office setting so people aren't like "oh you game"

>>60376750
You could also get some risers and mount those on the metal frame of the front panel, then mount the fan to that. Better than shoe goo

>>60373581
I've worked on PCs with this case before at work. Why you'd want such an ugly, non-functional case is beyond me.

>>60375372
Pretty nice there anon, just got done adding a gtx 750ti from ebay to my optiplex 790. Kinda annoying about those sata connectors.

Those dell cases are not too terrible. The optiplex are really cheap on ebay if you wanted a budget build with an i7/i5. I still use Dell prebuilts in my house from 08/09. One with a q8200 and one with an x2 240.

>>60380552
why not a rx 460?

>>60380552
Yea the sata connectors are pretty bad. They sit right under the graphivs card. I had to get right angle and left angle just to fit in three things. The others are just completely unaccessible. Need a new mobo :/

Op here, looks like the hardest part it's going to be modding the fron't I/O, power button and cooling, not the motherboard and PSU as I initially had thought.

Going to get one and work on it during summer.

>>60379282
OP here I really like the aesthetics :/

Perfect to match my intellimouse, thinkpad, ibm model m and thinksomething monitor...

>>60380924
Issues I'm having lol. hit me up on steam and we can exchange ideas cuz I plan on getting new hardware soon. zstorm4

>>60376989
>Also I never knew that the motherboard had more then one fan header.
It doesn't. I used a fan with a molex connector

>>60379315
>>60379338
I see.

>>60380101
Sounds like a great idea, I'll look into it. Thanks.

>>60381090
Eh that could be annoying since it would always run at 100%, it would be loud.

>>60380955
>hit me up on steam
sorry m8 can't :/ but thx for the input anyway

My thinkcentre M92p has really annoying audio static, even with a dedicated PCIe sound card. I think it's because the the 14 to 24 pin adapter but I don't know. It's super frustrating.
