It's been a while since I checked the following out, as I have built my
own PC systems for many years....

Which of the major PC manufacturers, such as HP-Compaq, Dell, IBM use
proprietary mainboards, PSUs and other components in their desktop systems?

The answer is that they all use some proprietary content in their systems. It
all depends on the chassis size... Ben Myers

And they all have some models which are not proprietary at all, if one considers
that the smallish ATX-12V power supplies are not proprietary. Gone are the days
when a single power supply form factor was considered standard... Ben Myers
