Optiplex 790 sff in cm storm scout case

[Rodrigo0398]

So I need help figuring out where all the front io connectors go on the dell optiplex 790 sff motherboard someone please help 

[m0k]

follow the wires from when it was still in the dell case....then see if its even using the same connectors

knowing dell, its probably proprietary

It's probably proprietary

So it’s probably not possible then?

It's not possible to make the CM connectors work without massive modification and repining of header connectors. Instead you can pull the front panel i/o module from the Dell case and stuff it somewhere in the CM case if you want to be able to maintain full functionality. You'll also need to take the power switch from the Dell case and place it somewhere in the CM case. If you attempt to power on the system without these two Dell components present, you'll get error messages and slower boot times.

Doesn't really seem worth it. Chances are you can pick up a motherboard super cheap though.
