Just wanted to pop in and let y’all know I got her mostly finished. Gotta create something better than tape to block airflow and drill new holes in the primary cover for the video card. But she runs pretty good (and cool with the main cover off!)
On a side note, got the cpu in. Also installed the cpu cooler and now I’m thinking of a solution for the old fan tray that used to be in here. Side profile picture provided to show overall height of installed components.
As I have the mobo installed and just got the new PSU installed though the wiring is considerably longer than the original PSUs wiring was. When I get a moment I'll post a pic of the mess and maybe get some input on cable management, LoL. It'll be a slow process on this build as the wife...
I got bored today and decided to play around with the tower and got it booted, to xp... Talk about nostalgia... couldn’t boot from dvd drive, I believe the laser is dead. Opened her up to find the optical runs on an IDE and no way to hook in a SATA optical that I had laying around. So I did...
Good deal, the mobo I plan on using has a pretty decent integrated grafx chip, that being said the FSP unit doesn’t have a PCIe connector, which would have been a deal breaker...
Ok I joined this site to literally get a definitive answer on the following question: What form factor mobo is in the s7510n? I’m looking to do a complete custom build utilizing the case only (possibly the DVD/RW, depending on PSU requirements of other hardware).
Edit - I found on HPs site...
