Which motherboard+cpu combo for dell poweredge 1300?

[sganesh]

Hi,

I have a dell poweredge 1300 and want to upgrade to a P4 system. Which is
the best motherboard which fits to this system? I will be very grateful if someone
can provide me information about their upgrade, if they had upgraded their
poweredge 1300. I don't want to have onboard sound and video. I already have
good cards for that.

Thanks
Sivaji Ganesh

Dell usually uses special PSUs with their motherboards. They don't work right on standard MBs.

Get a better case and PSU.

That's right, I guess you're out of luck with a proprietary Dell case. The PSU, anyways, would be too weak to power a modern P4 system so you'll have to get a new case maybe.
