Dell Dimension XPS gen 2(?)

[Laxx]

Hey guys. I currently own a dimension xps gen 2 (at least i think it's a gen 2) and am thinking of taking the parts and putting it into a shuttle case (i don't know what the exact name is, but i think you guys call it sff). it'll be for lan parties or just going to friend's houses to game it up. i know i'll need a new mobo, but what do you guys think.

2.8p4 with ht
512mb ddr pc3200
radeon 9800pro
gotta get a new soundcard or a mobo with onboard sound (took the audigy 2 and put it in my dimension 9100)

if i was to get a shuttle case/psu with a sff motherboard, would all of the dell parts work? i have decent knowledge with putting together a computer (used to do it for friends back in high school and built 2 for myself 5 years ago), but my knowledge of proprietary parts are minimal.

well, thanks to all that read this and leave me some feedback.

They should. As long as you get the right socket types for the processors and such, I see no problem making the move. Good luck.

none of those parts are proprietary

just a socket 478 based shuttle, preferablly one with the i865pe or i875p chipset
