XPS 630 Pci Card For master I/O board and rear LED board.

50 points posted to Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops, XPS products by skimmy May 22

If it is possible. Dell could make a pci card That we could connect the master I/O board and the rear led board to and not connect them to the motherboard. we could install any after market motherboard and not worry about losing control of the Front./Rear LEDS Or the HDD/Pci cage fans. since we wont need to worry about about the missing connections on say an evga motherboard.

How much could the pci card cost? $20 - $40 tops? I think that is the least dell can do. and it wouldn't be as costly as replacing an outdated motherboard. that is not even supported by the nvidia control panel software.

I believe this would make the XPS 630 truly ATX.

May 23		 The master i/o board and rear led board plugs into a proprietary connection on the mother board. so any store bought mother board wont take the master I/O board USB connector (MIO_USB). So that means after market motherboard = no pci/hdd fans and no front rear leds. So if you change your motherboard you might as well change your case too.

On a side note. I do not care if people demote the idea. All i ask is if you do, Just post your reason for doing so. Seems to be alot of downvoting here. like most other sites.

May 23		 Okay I was getting confused with the 630 and the 730. The 730 is definitely supposed to be able to take after market mother boards without losing any functionality.

I think we need a Dell person who knows for sure to tell us what's what.

May 30		 why are you all demoting and not leaving a reason why? are you all cattle or dell fanboys? and just like to play follow the leader?
If you own a 630 and want to upgrade your motherboard in the future you will need this part i am proposing if you plan to continue to use the xps 630 case. since the mio board will not connect to your future motherboard.

Do you downvoters even own a 630?
