Optiplex 7050 get silenced





"Had this Streacom passive case lying around, bought an old optiplex 7050 for a budget ebay/YouTube build which of course ended up not being very budget as it usually goes. Learned the hard way that dell uses non standard motherboard standoff locations so had to drill and tap all of those. Original zeroflex PSU blew up immediately so replaced it with an Enhance 1u and a Noctua fan swap. Few wiring adaptors purchased or made for the weird dell plugs... Would go a different route next time but a fun project nonetheless."
