On an impulse I bought the above motherboard with what appeared to be a standard ATX connector. After thinking about it I remembered that Dell liked to do weird things with proprietary PSUs, so now I'm questioning whether my purchase was a mistake. Is anyone familiar with this particular motherboard? My searching has come up mostly empty, and haven't even been able to find the original documentation.
If it is a Dell PSU abomination I seem to recall there being adapters for these, since I have 4 or 5 ATX PSUs available I'm quite able to modify one for the situation if necessary!
Previous versions of this board used the old-style AT P8/P9 connector rather than ATX, and from the available pics it looks as if Dell just swapped one style for the other but you're right, Dell do love their own funky wiring layouts (hopefully not on this one though) so it may be prudent to check for standard ATX wiring with a multimeter just in case.

On a side note, if planning on using the onboard video, did you get the VGA breakout card?

If you're looking for more info on the board, its on The Retro Web here - https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/dell-d … -p___t-minitowe - they don't list any BIOS updates but I've attached the latest one anyway should you get the board booting.
