Yep. You are right. They are Dell Dimension 9100s.
I tried an Antec psupply, and the Dell psupply is
nearly an inch thicker, so the mount holes don't
match. Would work, but looks bad. Image is a
whole lot here. It is not the CAD apps moving to
Vista so much as it is the license agreement we
purchase from Microsoft. Plus, almost everything
new coming in runs Vista. I just discovered that
on the Dell site, there is a PNY GF8600 GT that
Dell says only needs their stock psupply. If the
price is right, I'll get those, and another gig of
ram.

I'm beginning to feel comfortable with Vista. I've
been testing it for over a year, and I've learned
the necessary hacks to drop Vista back to XP,
and run XP apps with no problems. I'll turn those
hacks back on as needed, when the XP apps
catch up. The 9100s were a $$$ machine when
we bought them. We would like to maintain
them out of warranty for a few more years .. if
the price is right, and the quality is high.

Thanks. I just assumed the 8600 would be more powerful
than the 6800. Logical but wrong. Looks like we are in luck
because the price of the 8600s is coming down fast. With
rebates I can get them on the web for about $75 .. and
the extra ram for $35. Geeze that is a steal for the level
of these boxes.
