SnakeNeck has a Dell Optiplex SFF (Small Form Factor) so the power supply would need to fit in there. And he needs a PCI 1.0 low profile video card recommendation loaderXI 1 Awards

Not sure if this has changed you might want to triple check before hooking anything to it. I could be wrong. Merlin007, Labob, KaptCrunch and 1 other 4 Awards
