• DC5750 into Antec 900
    9 replies, posted
I have an old DC5750 Microtower. I bought an Antec 900 (actually a few years ago). The problem is that HPs mobos use HPs shitty proprietary format. Is there anyway I can get it in the Antec?
How old is your HP computer/mobo. Most of the newer ones simply flip an ATX board upside-down so it's mounted on the left side and the slots are on top of the CPU.
Several years. If it is flipped, how would I go about mounting it correctly?
If it's flipped, it's probably BTX.
picture of said motherboard, please.

Uhhhh, looks like your board is BTX from the drawing and it will not work in ATX cases.

So there are no adapter boards or anything? Would be really nice to help with the cooling.

Ah well. I hoped on replacing it anyway. The major problem is cash (or lack of it). Anyway, thank you.
