Old faithful! Dell upgrade
Well I ran out of cases at home to house all my new equipment so I started to cycle the older equipment out and swap them...
So my older P2B-S board with a P3 500 was removed from its case and dropped into a Dell case.. Yes a Dell...
At first I didnt think it would fit.. Since the P2B-S is one large beast! But it barely fit!
So I got that mounted... And I had to rework the wiring for the front panel.. So out came the soldering iron.. And I cut me a 1 foot long piece of cat5 cable..
I needed to be able to rewire the small circuit board that is on the case... This circuit board controled the HD LED, Power LED, Power Switch and Reset... So that was a total of 8 wires. That is why I selected a 1 foot long piece of CAT5 cable :)
So I removed the circuit board and wired the cat 5 directly to the board.. I just need to finish the plug side that will be placed onto the individual copper legs on the board...
But the Dell PS would not power up my board.. So I swaped that with another power supply I had laying around. But that power supply is 1/8" wider then the Dell.. So I am going to have to rework that to be able to close the side door...
Here is a picture with the new board mounted :)
