It turns out my Dell Inspiron 530 stock (http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?p=2980136&posted=1#)MB doesn't fit real nice in with my new Guardian 921 case. Very frustrating to spend hours transfering guts from one system to another. Can't find the proper connection for the Power SW, Resest SW, and HDD Led connectors.Even though it was supposed to be compatible.
I would be interested in purchasing a new MB to make this easier, but I really have no idea about them. I've installed countless RAM chips, (http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?p=2980136&posted=1#) Video Cards, HDs, even a PSU or two, but no new MB ever. Always a first time for everything I guess.
Can anyone suggest a good MB, I think I would need an ATX for compatibility sake but I don't know if my Dell components are compatible and how much of a pain it really is. is it a pain, I read that transferring Dell components is a bit of a nightmare.
I have the Quad Core 6600 model, 3 GB RAM, 700 PSU and 3870 card.
Someone suggested a Gigabyte EP45 UD3P, it looks pretty good, anyone have any thoughts on it?
