This 790 is missing a power supply and it’s battery holder
But I can use its proprietary power button and front panel connectors on a optiplex 7010 Mobo I have and it’s i2400, the heatsink has standard lga 115X mounts so it might be useful in another project
Might turn it into a Minecraft server, I don’t know what use it will serve just yet
Might be a contender for the SNES PC
Could add some Additional heatsinks to the flat part that’s over the cpu
Front panel is about 5 inches so I can probably mod it into a 5.25 faceplate, power button seems easy enough since it’s about the same size as a regular power button, I can mount the reset button to clear CMOS pins since dells don’t have a reset button
the power supply is standard, and the battery can be soldered back, otherwise the mobo is fully operational. btw.
The guy I live with was using one of my old 775 dells for minecraft
this thread helped me out and is the source of one of the pictures
build functions as if it were a normal PC if I not had the dell power button, jumped the front panel, used dell fans in both headers would have halted boot and prompted F1
(Note: I would never sell a PC like this, I only do ghetto stuff to my own hardware, he’s just using it because its free)
@Adubs should I put a bigger heatsink on it
You already know the answer to that question
