joeypesci Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Anyone know where I can get one of these in England, cheap? http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdet...mp;sku=310-3784 It's for a Dell 3300MP Projector.

Sparda Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I know why Dell uses them, but I still hate them for it. RM do the clever thing of making sure the graphics card has a connector for an external (to the adapter) connector, then provide low profile case expansion slot plates with VGA connectors on them and the external connector on the other end.

Sparda Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Dell does this so the connectors for two monitors fits on a low profile card. RM left the normal DVI connector, but have the option to put a VGA/DVI connector in a separate expansion slot on the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Sorry, call me thick but not sure what you're on about :) and what's RM? http://www.rm.com/Home/RMComHome.aspx RM 'make' computers for schools, like Dell but without the home or business markets. They don't use BTX boards like Dell either. They take normal computer parts and put them in custom RM cases. Side tracking more, but still interesting: Bane of my life, these things suck, people continuously ask me why it runs slow, my response is always "they are crap". There more recent stuff (see below) is unusual. They actually use 'normal' microATX motherboards in those (for some reason with laptop memory). The monitors are custom for them however, so they are more expensive. They do sell normal base unit computers which are as cheap as Dell.
