comp never powered up.... thats a no no for me. there is no garantee it works.

My bad, I'll re-iterate: Dell P4 (Pre socket 775) are all standard ATX components

With the new tech involved with the 775 they have apparently changed the pinout.

bastards...you would think they would have learned from their mistakes with P3 systems. Oh well...

I never understood the need to buy a system from a company.
I've always built my own pcs once I learned how. You choose what goes in and some of that hardware can last for years and years.

Crappy psu, thermal paste, mobo, ram, and hd are not my idea of a good computer.

I work in IT and I see hp dc5000sff's have heat, hard drive, and port failure issues. That's horrible.

I just don't understand it for personal computer needs.

because some people don't have the time or don't want to take the time to configure, order, and assemble their own computer.

Or they are just too plain stupid and don't want to bother with learning. It's a sad world out there.
