Dimension 2100 MB Upgrade

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

My Dimension 2100 with a 900 MHz Celeron isn't cutting the mustard anymore.
What are my upgrade options other than the limited CPU upgrade
possibilities? Can I put a micro ATX motherboard in this case? Is it
possible to buy a refurb or replacement Dimension 2400 or 4600 MB from Dell
instead? I understand the Dell cases have several unique features that make
standard MB upgrades rather difficult.

I do like this case though. Its the perfect size to become a lan party PC
for my son.

Thanks,

Brad

It should take a board from a 2300 or 2350. Standard boards won't work
without major modifications to the wiring and sheet metal.

You'll still need a new power supply for a P4 board, so just replace the
case -- it's not worth saving it.

You'll also need a new copy of Windows if you use a non-Dell board.
