The height is 4.8 inches and the height is the concern with the Dell workstation not the length. There are three fan Gigabyte designs that are under 4.6inches, RTX 2060 1660 etc. I think one should do fine. Cheerio John

The ASUS GTX 1050 TI fits, card dimensions are 8.00" x 4.50". There seems to be plenty of room length wise and I suspect one of the cards that is less than 4.6 inches tall would certainly fit. Cheerio John

The length is the easy one. On a previous Dell tower case I had problems with the height of an ASUS GTX1050 TI and the height is more difficult to measure and I haven't been able to find the max height is the specs. Thanks John

It has the 625 watt power supply and I'm looking for something nVidia of about the power of a GTX 980 or better. My concern is the size of the video card that might fit. Thoughts please. Thanks John

The nursing home has 34 residents and a number of staff. Many residents have a phone but have difficulty hearing so using Skype with a headset would offer an advantage and lower costs to residents. ie get rid of 30 odd phone lines. The internet connection is limited. Fine for 36 voice...

The two services were set to manual on both machines, changed them to automatic and everything shows up nicely. Thank you both since you both contributed part of the answer to the puzzle. John

Both machines are set private and discoverable. One machine shows computers, media devices and multifunction devices. The other machine only shows media devices. One is win 10 home and the other is win 10 pro. Both machines can be accessed with the CMD commands such as dir \\network\share...

in the graphical user interface I'm unable to see the computer I want on the LAN. However if I go into CMD and use the copy command with the share name the files copy without a problem. Is it possible to add machines to the windows 10 GUI network? Thanks John

It is described as a tower case, but it sounds like a plan B is required. I suspect a GTX 1070 is fairly long, my current GTX 980 needed a new case although the dell web site suggests that it will take an 11 inch card the AMD W9000 with a max draw of 300 watts for the video card...

Has anyone done it? I note Dell has some refurbished tower T3600 / T3610s floating around. How many drives will the case hold? Thanks John

I have a background in IT and email strangely enough and yes one of the main problems will be procedures. However the machines can be preconfigured so that side won't be a problem and in one of my previous jobs I supported machines in the arctic so I am sensitive to the problems of remote access...

I do a fair bit of mapping with openstreetmap HOT to be more precise. NGOs such as MSF, Red Cross etc send field teams in so often from US and Europe who are used to email. There are a number of schools and internet cafes floating around and as we map often we want to send the latest version...

> You could use one of the many free parental control software available. I think that may well be a simple answer. Thanks John

I'd wondered if the alarm could be launch a program rather than play a tune. The windows solution looks good but ideally you'd want it to run twice then not connect. I wonder if we can say only use the internet connection between these hours somehow? Certainly approaches to think about...
