Dell OptiPlex cases

[240TVol]

Hello

I have a question(s) regarding the Dell OptiPlex (755, 745 and 740) cases:

1) Will an ATX motherboard fit in an Ultra Small Form Factor OptiPlex case? What about the Small Form Factor case?

2) If an ATX motherboard fits, would I be able to use a PCI-e graphics card (nVidia 7600GT)?

3) Are there any other Power Supplys that would fit these cases that have a "larger" output than the stock 2XX W?

Thank you.

Yeah, find a case on sale for $75 and get it. Use the Dell case as the boat anchor it was designed for.

I pulled this from another thread.

Look at these case deals:

The Optiplex systems use a BTX chassis design in the slimline and tower design. The uSFF is completely proprietary. It won't work.
