thinking about it, it probably was a bad idea, because if someone wanted amd, then they would (probably) know how to home build and whatnot....like save money for diy, instead of paying dell to do it for them, plus as ive been looking at it, is dells mobo backwards? like mounted on the other side of the box, but having the connectors in the same places? in the pic it seems so. if it is, that would mean that a dell case is only good for dell parts...would figure tho, dell is like M$, they like their money
