This old Dell Dimension 8250 is so proprietary, it’s probably not worth any more effort in restoring it for fun.

Well, the power supply died the first time I tried it. So I bought a new one but I had to cut up the case to mount it and now the weird clamshell case won’t close all the way with the power supply in it because it doesn’t fit.
I would see if I can move the motherboard to a different case but it has a proprietary ribbon cable and PCB for the front USB and the power button. That’s assuming the motherboards screw holes will even line up with an ATX case.
The real reason I grabbed it off the side of the road was for the CRT, and that works fine so I’m happy with that.
