Dimension 8400 Motherboard Form Factor?
Does anyone know what form factor the motherboard in a Dimension 8400 is? I thought that I read somewhere that it is the new BTX design. I searched through Dell support, but I couldn't find any reference to it.
Just curious. Thank you very much.

HI, need to jump into the conversation .......Now, on this "heavily Dell-modified motherboard, does it have the TPM chip and does it have a UI , because i'll need to use that console to reset the sys/admin passwords in order for the DVD optic drive to read DVD and set boot order ( F12 don't work) This poor lady has been waiting for her Dell w / windows 7 , 2010 Office, and Vipre security (feel cozy?)
Thanks for reading, MaddJoker

That was quite a leap! This thread is from 2005!
Are you asking about the Windows 7 password or the BIOS password? If you need to clear the BIOS password, there's a jumper on the Dimension 8400 motherboard. See page 117, here, for instructions.
