I have an old tower case Supermicro SC750-A. I'd like to know if it
can be used with the new stuff available now, like the PCI-E mobo's,
video cards and power supplies.

The last time I asked Supermicro this question, they said it could not
be upgraded to work with the new stuff. Obviously, I'd like to get an
outisde opinion from people who have a less vested interest in selling
cases :-)

Oh. If it can be, any links or info about what I would need to do to
use it with current generation tech. I am assuming that I would have
to replace the PSU if the idea is feasible.

TIA

John

The SuperMicro SC750-A case is quite versatile. It is an ATX-
standard case and has enough mounting points to accomodate
most motherboards that follow the ATX format. The PSU's are
interchangeable and mounting conform to ATX standards. There
should still be archived information about this particular
case at www.supermicro.com. We're still salvaging these cases
and re-using them.

One other thing, if it's a full tower make sure the new PSU has output cables
that are long enough to easily reach to the various components.

Not to worry. The PSU sits centrally in the back plane, just
above the motherboard. IMO, the SC750-A is still one of the best
full towers that was made.
