Re: Replacement Motherboard for Dell XPS T600

I wouldn't hold too much hope on a Dell system to install some generic mtrbd. It *maybe* possible but Dell usually by its own insidious design has proven its best to start anew with generic parts(DIY) and leave Dell behind. Unless, someone points to a source to do this. But, you could repair using Dell parts your orginal if you really really really want to or buy yet another used XPS T600 from some vendor source. The choice is yours...

good luck -----Willy

My comment. Bow to the inevitable and get a case too.

Some Dells not only had custom cases, but the power supply was truly their own. For what you will be paying out, a new case/PSU will make it easy to house your new motherboard and what other parts you want to move over.
