For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Once upon a time I think they also had custom pinouts on the ATX connector, so just replacing your PSU with a standard one would fry your mobo

They did, I was about to say the same thing! I had to buy an adapter to make it work right. This was like mid to late 2000's. I work in IT for a company and didn't want to spend money on a new PC yet so I snagged one from work that was no longer used. It got the job done, but yeah it was crazy to see what they did to make it so you couldn't swap or change some things inside.

Yeeeep. I did this. Very disheartening after spending the time with a Dremel to modify the back panel enough for it to fit.
