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

      Yeah, those Dells are tricky with their custom case designs. Still perfectly usable though. Plenty of slots for upgraded GPUs, sound cards or network cards.

      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.
