Hi,
Im trying to move away from DELL proprietary hardware to a standard ATX system, would it be feasible to move the motherboard from a DELL Optiplex 5040 into an ATX Mid-tower case, im aware that dell uses different standards and I think that I will have to purchase a 24 to 8 pin adapter (Not sure if this is correct), the main reason I want to move the motherboard is to save on budget as the CPU is fairly decent that comes with the Dell system.
