I've got an opportunity to buy a Dell 1600SC server case cheap. Could I fit
a Thunder i7505 mobo in the case with the port access in the correct
positions? Being a dual server case, its got to be either an OEM or Intel
board. Of course, Dell wouldn't give me that sort of info.

Cheers,

Peter

Not without a great deal of modification and a lot of rewiring - and
probably a new power supply (or power supplies).

Thanks Edward,

I was thinking that Dell must be using someone's else's mobo.

The PowerEdge systems from the last few years use very much custom Dell
boards built by Solectron and Celestica for the most part - I have not seen
inside a 1600SC, but those Dells I use daily (PE 2500, 2550, 2600, 2650,
etc.) would not take standard boards at all - the components inside are not
standard ATX.

I meant to mention it comes with a power supply fitted, so it's the ATX
board I'm concerned about.

Take a look here at the non standard mobo;
http://docs.us.dell.com/docs/systems/pe1600sc/en/sm/jumpers.htm#1076147
By the way the power supply is also NOT standard.
