Dell Vostro 200 questions

[Cgermino89]

Hello everyone. My mom got rid of her old Dell Vostro 200 mini tower computer. I was wondering if it's possible to gut these PCs and put in all new hardware, motherboard, CPUs, etc... I really appreciate any and all feedback. Thank you for reading.

You should be able to change the hardware inside computers.

It should work but be careful about the motherboard standoffs, sometimes they are not standard.

Okay. I'm just trying to figure out what kind of motherboard this case accepts.

I found out. It's a micro atx form factor. Now the fun part of building a part list. I might wanna mod the case as well for better airflow.

I personally have the Vostro 400 & 410 and based on what I know about that generation of Dell machines, the I/O plate aren't removable...so putting a new motherboard in there might be tricky....but I can be wrong
