Big shout out to him for helping me for well over 2 hours last night. He suggested that I need a 300W or more power supply and a PCI e video card that's not 2.0(am I right @loaderXI?) Thoughts?

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Hi Everyone, my dealings with Dell computers in the past is that most of their boards are proprietary and use proprietary power supplies. Not sure if this has changed you might want to triple check before hooking anything to it. I could be wrong.
