Dell XPS Case vs. X58 Motherboard
A couple of weeks ago I joined the dell community since than I've upgrade my '05 Dell XPS 410 32-bit Vista with
Corsair 750TX
Corsair XMS 2 2x1GB DDR2 800Mhz x2
EVGA GeForce 9800GT-SC 512MB
Intel Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz
WD CBlack 500GB 32MB 7200RPM x2 (In RAID 0)
EVGA Killer Xeno Pro
Thanks to all your help, But Now I Want To Replace My Motherboard for EVGA x58 3xSLI 132-BL-E758-TR Will This Fit Into My Dell XPS 410 Case ? Can I Make It Fit ?
If Not I Will Just Have To Build My Own PC And Sell This OneHow Much Do You Think Ill Get For It ?
Another Question How Can I Replace My HSF ? I've Yet To Find One That Fits The Motherboard :(

no you cannot put a non dell board into the case with out extensive modifications to the case, trying to find non existant front I/o cables and a new copy of windows.
you are better off going the DIY route and add in your hard and optical drives as that is about all you would really want to put into a new board
You will run into the same situation with the HSF. Only a Dell version will fit..

The EVGA motherboard formfactor is ATX and will not fit into the XPS 410 BTX case, plus when a non-Dell motherboard is used, you would need to buy new retail, or OEM copy of windows, as Dell's OEM copies are tied to their BIOS and cannot be activated.
Regards to the selling price of your XPS 410, go to eBay and check what similar models are being sold for.

Try contacting Dell Spare Parts. Most times it is best to call
Or try Ebay.

Where Can I Find Dell Version For The HSF
That Would Fit My Motherboard
I Cleaned Mines Out When I Got The New CPU But I Really Think I New One Would Be Best

The OS Isn't A Problem. I Didn't Know The XPS 410 Case Was A BTX This Helps Alot. Also I've Looked And Only Found A Couple But At $500.00 I'm Better Off Keeping It .
Thank You Very Much
BTW: Im Really Interested In 3x SLI But I'm Having Trouble Picking The Right GPU 9800GTX or GTS 260 Their Around The Same Price, I Wish I could Get 3way with the 9800GT
