    I have a dell optipex gx260. It has a P4 cpu 2.40Ghz.
    HD BUS:Ultra ATA/100
    Memory speed PC2100 DDR266 184 pin DDR SDRAM DIMM

    I am looking for a good all in one mother board and a mid tower or full tower that the mobo will work in. I want to use The dell internal parts on a different mobo and tower.
    Thanks for the help!

    Just a word of caution on the PS. Not all Dell power supplies are compatible. In fact if you connect these non-standard supplies to a non-Dell motherboard, you will in all likelihood fry the motherboard. Not sure if that is they case for your PC but it is best to double check.

    Thanks Tgell. I had no plans on using the power supply. Thats why I asked about a mid tower or full tower. Just want to use the CPU,ram stuff like that. I hate the dell set up and the way they restrict every thing. I need something that I can work with and repair.
    A mobo that can have the audio and gpu turned off and pci card can be used later on!
    thanks
