Video upgrades to Optiplex systems 1519

...

Thanks much for the pointers: the most common chbuttis I seem to find is the GX Desktop (not SFF) chbuttis as a GX260, do you think a "normal" AGP card will fit that chbuttis?

I don't find the one external 5.25" drive and one external floppy an issue... that's all I need anyway (would be nice to fit a 3.5" ZIP in that slot, though, USB floppies are much cheaper).

Can this case (Desktop: not SFF, not mini tower) fit a second 3.5" internal HDD? even if a jury-rig? (not a deciding factor, but a discriminator).

While I'm not going to put a monster video card in, it will have a heatsink fan mounted (ATI 9700 pro). In a "normal" mobo it doesn't interfere with the adjacent PCI slot, but it's full height and "normal" length (not extra long). It doesn't have the mbuttive power draw of 9800Pro and last AGP nVidia boards... I'd like to imagine there is sufficient power to handle that at least.

Thanks for the heads-up on the GX270: I'm looking at Dell because I think of them as fairly reliable machines with good support. Don't want to land with a lemon here!

Thanks much, again... BuddyWh
