About a week ago I tried to fix a neighbor's computer. I got lucky when they ended up buying a new HP and giving me this:

The Dell I got:


I will be using this back (probably) as it has 7 expansion slots.


The Guts:


Taken Apart:



I've never actually seen a pentium 3 like this, it resembles the old AMD processors.

And of course, good old Dell only has one fan in the entire case, which also happens to be a total pain in the arse to get out.

Ok, front, back, top, bottom, and motherboard tray/side panel are now cut, but only the front and back are epoxied to the frame. You may notice that one of the cross-beams is kind of... off. Thats because I was trying to get the snuggest fit for the mobo tray, and I kind of forced it off . Will be fixed by the morning
