Has anyone ever tried to move the internal components of a Dell Dimension 8200 over to a new third party ATX case? I have read on these and other forums that Dell is extremely proprietary with their systems innards, and I don't want to have to go thru Dell and pay a ton more for simple upgrades like PSU's than if I just was building a regular DIY system. I have heard that even the mobos they use are proprietary and uniquely attached to the case so that it makes it difficult (maybe impossible?) to put them into a different case. Besides the mobo and the PSU being very proprietary, most of the rest of the internal components seem like they would be very easy to transfer over at first glance. I don't mind spending a few bucks on a cheap case and PSU if I can get all of the Dell components into it withoug too much of a headache. I realize that it would be easier just to build a whole new system, but I just don't have the funds to do that at present and would like to upgrade a few simple things like the PSU and the video card for now. Any thoughts, suggestions, tips, links to info, etc would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance....
