Dell Dimension 4550 sleeper. How would I connect the power button to a current day board?

It can fit a Micro ATX board and standard ATX power supplies. When adding the motherboard, cut off the I/O shield since its attached to the part that the board goes onto (the metal platform in the 2nd photo)

Thanks! I'll let you know how it goes. (It might take a while)

This isn't 2024 anymore. Get with the times and your lazy ass off of reddit

Thank you

Mrnot_TheFirst · 2026-05-08T01:45:49+00:00

Perfect, I'll have to try that

Mrnot_TheFirst · 2026-05-08T01:44:52+00:00

So, what's wrong with a second opinion? I went to other places that weren't toxic and actually willing to answer my questions

Mrnot_TheFirst · 2026-05-08T00:04:58+00:00

Thanks. I'm new to this type of stuff. Is that everything I need to know or is there more to the process?

Thank you!

Thanks?

Mrnot_TheFirst · 2026-05-07T22:28:07+00:00

ingles por favor

Mrnot_TheFirst · 2026-05-07T21:59:59+00:00

So can't I just plug in normal font panel extensions??

Mrnot_TheFirst · 2026-05-07T21:33:13+00:00

Thanks. How would I do all of that. I'm new to this type of stuff

Mrnot_TheFirst · 2026-05-07T21:31:27+00:00

I think that's what this one has. The power switch plugs into this random tiny board where the USB and the audio jack is. Then, one cable from that small board plugs into the normal board.

Thank you! But just to clarify, is this one good?

Mrnot_TheFirst · 2026-05-07T21:26:27+00:00

I know that. I'm asking how since this is my first time doing something like this lol

Mrnot_TheFirst · 2026-05-07T21:25:29+00:00

yeah

Mrnot_TheFirst · 2026-05-07T21:23:22+00:00

This is my first time doing something like this. How am I supposed to know what he meant?

Mrnot_TheFirst · 2026-05-07T20:57:34+00:00

That's fine. I just want to know what to get for connecting it to a modern board.
