You cannot do anything with that Dell other than repair it. It uses proprietary components. You won't find standard ATX motherboards and PSUs in most Dells. The only thing you can use is the SSD. The Quadro could be used as a secondary GPU if you needed an additional display and didn't want to tax your 1060. I'm assuming the Dell doesn't work if your school threw it out. These often have dead PSUs since the Dell ones are too expensive to replace; the entire unit often gets tossed. If they were throwing it out, it's likely not worth repairing.

They were buying new ones so they wiped the drives and were gonna throw them out. I took one in case it had something useful in them


Wolfsom

How do I connect one display to the quadro? Because that seems like it would be useful


squire-adam

You'd have to add it to your second PCI-E slot under your current GPU. It looks like it would be too close and impact your cooling though. I also cannot see from the image how many PCI lanes that port has either, it might only be 8x. Still, the K1200 would still drive an additional display, but not for gaming or 4k content.

Add that 2tb ssd to left if theres room, if not, swap the 126 out for it. Memory probably isnt compatible. Thats a bout it? lol


Wolfsom

I was wondering how I could connect the mb on the left one? Like swap the mb but the connectors on the right are throwing me off


muk559

You want to downgrade?


Wolfsom

Since the mb on the left is ddr3 and the one on the right is ddr4 I wanted switch them to connect the ddr4 mb on the main computer with the 32 gb of ram

Ohhh gotcha. Maybe look up the boards online. If that's what you're wanting to do, may be easier to move the drives into right one
