one of the problems you'd run into here is the I/O shield is attachced, you'd have to go all jank and cut a hole. Also old motherboards can be expensive sometimes, depends on what you're getting, sometimes more than they were new. 

This is the list of CPUs that Shipped with the 220 and 220s I think 
N654J Wolfdale Dual Core E8600 3.33GHz
D923J Wolfdale Dual Core E8500 3.16GHz
06YMG Wolfdale Dual Core E7600 3.06GHz
H399J Wolfdale Dual Core E8400 3.00GHz
T116N Wolfdale Dual Core E7500 2.93GHz
9HP6Y Wolfdale Dual Core E6300 2.80GHz
Y442H Wolfdale Dual Core E7300 2.66GHz 
YG8MC Wolfdale Dual Core E5200 2.50GHz
K151N Wolfdale Dual Core E4700 2.80GHz
 
Anything outside of those I doubt. 
At that point, I'd just get a new used machine, there's a lot of dell optiplex towers that businesses dump on ebay, in the 100$ neighborhood you'd get a quad core i5 or i7 that's either sandy or ivy. Slap a 25$ SSD in there and it's a good machine. Get a regular tower not a thin one so you can put full height cards in there. 

Dell's will do that. I have worked on a few (specifically Foxconn boards), where they are definitely quad core supported but BIOS locked down (and any attempt to re-flash the BIOS with a stock one is to gets you told off by Dell's BIOS security for an unsigned BIOS)

Xfx is fine. Only issue I see is it's a blower style so temps wont't be ideal

Linus is daddy material ?

Sweet!
Try Vince's modded bios!

As a life long Andorid user, I am one of those 86% who intend on using an iPhone as their next phone.
 
Yes, iOS is more limited. But I have been experiencing the most annoying levels of instability on Android that from my research simply doesn't exist on iOS.
 
I also use a MacBook (See bio for specs), which is hacked to Mojave. The integration between iOS and macOS is amazing, and as I transition from adolescent to adult the simple convenience of iOS is becoming more valuable than faffing around in Android settings trying to figure out why my phone is dying 5 hours before it did yesterday.
 
I will always keep a windows machine for gaming, and I will game so long as I have time for it. But for any productivity oriented tasks? Apple has MS beat. And Microsoft created Windows as a business OS ?

Ah balls, I didn't read your pricing.
 
Get the newest HP Elitebook you can afford Ebay. Theyre built like tanks and can be spec'd pretty highly.

Vivobook's, from my experience, have build quality issues.
 
I would personally recommend an XPS 13, or Thinkpad X1 Extreme (The X1 Carbon is inconsistent at best, avoid it)

RyZen responds best to b-die CL14 3200mhz ram.

Ah! Winedoawz!

The 4gb RX580 won’t last at all, invest in an 8gb model instead.
 
 

They all work, but I wouldn't recommend any of them.

Agree, all of these are also worth looking at.
 
You should be able to get a power supply tester (either hardware or software) that should show how the power delivery looks on your system. The numbers won't come out exact but you should get numbers in the range. Example 11.8v on the 12v rail.
 
A kernel power error can also happen just from a system crash that caused the system to turn off, not necessarily tied to the PSU. I think it is worth investigating though.

As @KING OF THE DIRTY DANSsaid, Jaybirds. 

Jaybirds are a good option
If you want to look like a douche, get airpods

@ShadowlessoneTry an output that isnt HDMI. Which on that card is probably DVI.

No, but actually yes

U want smol case? I got a recommendation for ya

>>Tempered glass
>>Portable
 
I definitely wouldn't get that case 

Just picked up one of these, gonna be sent to the guys at The Laser Hive for a professionally made casemod for my new build. Optiplex meets Threadripper >:)
 

 
On another note, does anybody need any parts from an Optiplex GX110? I have everything but the CD drive and HDD ?
 

blower GPU is known for being hot and loud, so you could download something like MSI afterburner and set custom temp limits, as well as a fan curve and power limits.

Depending on the state of charge you left the battery in it could very likely be a toast battery and need a new one.
 
Try just leaving it plugged in for an hour.

Need is a strong word.
 
If you think about it, a test bench is basically just a fancy not-case. Plenty of people use those in their daily rigs, and every reviewer I know of used them for benchmarking.

The internet says the T9500 is the best you can do.
