Dell Dimension 4700c Poly bliss

[Topcat]

This one was a dumpster find, was driving to the shop one day, and it was sitting on top of someone's trash cans... Couldn't help myself, I stopped and took it.

It's a P4 3GHz, 800fsb, 2mb L2, 64-bit LGA775. Has 1gb RAM and a 200gb hdd. Instead of a floppy, it has a nifty little card reader in it...

Mainboard caps were roasted panasonic FJ's (cpu filters). replaced all the 1800uF 6.3v CPU filters with 820uF 2.5v poly's. I also had to recap the power supply (full of cheapo teapos that had gone open).

Cranking along now. Belonged to some girl named 'kelsey'......

Topcat you're one lucky man to find that good of a system in the garbage. I wish people in my area threw away nice PCs!

Re: Dell Dimension 4700c Poly bliss

Hey Topcat, any chance that you'll put together a kit for this one? I have a dead GX520 and a dead 2700C. The 2700C has 3 vented caps that I've found. I've never done this before, so getting a count for a custom order might prove rather difficult for me. But I do enjoy getting my hands dirty and want to give this a go. I'm thinking of going the same route you went with the Poly's. Any advice?

I've long since sold the system, and really don't remember what it took. When polymodding, you need to break out the volt meter and check the voltages on the lytics you wish to change to polies, as in many cases, the polies will have lower voltage ratings than the lytics.
