Does this fit a dell optiplex 745 desktop tower? And do you have to use all the cables or only one.

I installed in a Dell Inspiron and had to use all cables - usb header, sata data, and molex power. I had to buy a 16 pin sata power to molex 4 pin adapter for my install. I had no molex power connects only sata.

Is it this? Dell Optiplex 780 SFF Small Form Factor Mother Main System Board 3NVJ6That should work. Are you ripping this motherboard out of an old computer? You need to figure out what size mobo it is, mini tower works. This is a large(r) case, I can't imagine any mobos that wouldn't fit.

Any matx board will fit into a standard ATX case. The bigger question is if the dell case is standard. The motherboard is mounted upsidedown in the xps 630i essentially but the IO panel is your standard snap in, not the typical predrilled dell stuff so its perfect for reuse. The main issues will be rewiring for the powerbuttons, usb ports and the custom led and fan controller mounted on a special mini board with some sort of proprietary connect.

This is a TFX type supply which is a standard form factor for desktop computers. Check the one that comes out of your Optiplex to see if it's TFX as well. If it is, the only question that remains is whether the wires are long enough to reach peripherals etc.

It should be fine. I bought an Dell 745 Optiplex and I had no problem with any of my older items. Hooked up and running with no problems.

The one I received does not come with the cables that were in the description, and certainly not with all the cables I needed. I had to go to EBay (Seasonic and their 'authorised distributors' were useless) to locate additional cables.The one I got included:1 24-pin ATX system board connection1 8-pin or 4-pin CPU connector4 PCIe 8-pin or 6-pin connectors5 peripheral 4-pin Molex connectors10 SATA connectors1 floppy power adapter (which consumes one of the peripheral 4-pin Molex connectors)

Most Dell OptiPlex machines use proprietary power supply's. I would check with the manufacture on compatibility. For the small form factor OptiPlex 620 desktops this won't work.

My OptiPlex 745 came with the 750 GB hard drive called for. Call the supplier before ordering to conform. One of the suppliers might be sending the wrong size. This is an older computer that has been upgraded. It is smaller then a standard computer and will need smaller size cards. I added a hmdi card to mine.

Yes. Both in the mini-tower and the thinner desktop form factors. If installed in the desktop, change the full-height bracket, to the included two half-height brackets. (you won't need the second half-height bracket if you're not using the VGA connector. You'll need small pliers to unfasten the nuts.

Hi, in theory, yes. I searched the internet for details about the model you have, to find out there are several types of that model(standard and slim models: http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/opti_755_techspecs.pdf). If your model is a slim one, there may be some issues mounting a video card with a standard bracket(that's about 10-12 cm long) but would accept smaller brackets(4-5 cm). Some video cards come with a small bracket too, so before purchasing, I would make sure the card has one too(or look for a card that is "small form factor"). In addition, based on the manual from the above link, it looks like all models are able to handle PCI express cards, so from this point of view, you'd be good to go.

yes the standard Dell 660s has 3 PCI-Express slots. You only need one for this graphics card. So unless you have a smaller version than the "minitower" version you will be fine. As for the actual dimensions you'd have to do the math but with 3 slots it's generally safe to assume one of them will fit the card nicely.

You should be able to fit just about any PSU into the case. Honestly for best usage, determine if all your other equipment you are placing into the computer uses alot of wattage/Power. Then determine the PSU that you need....once yo decide it should fit just fine. with space to fit everything into it's own place comfortably....I hope this helped, Best of luck.....

Hi Summer, I don't owned a Dell Optiplex 745, so I don't know what kind of hard drive is being used. If it is IDE type then the caviar blue 1600aajb should work. If it is a SATA hard drive, the caviar blue is not compatible.

This EVGA GT 610 has a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 connector. If I remember correctly, your Optiplex 745 has one PCI-Express x16 slot, so this video card should work for you. NOTE: you can only hook up one DVI-D monitor (Dual link, which supports Dell's 30" monitor in the max resolution). The other DVI port can only go up to 1080P.

How would I know, I bought them for a Dell Optiplex GX280 flat desktop, not those goofy tower computers they make, they're ridiculous. I can put my monitor on top of my computer and it opens up like a book to get at everything inside. Do computer designers have any brains, The only way to make a computer is the flat design like mine that opens like a book, NOT TOWER computers. Michael Weisser

I believe it will work. Here is a link to a website showing the removal of the old hard drive. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Dell+Optiplex+745+Small+Form+Factor+Hard+Drive+Replacement/30901 The solid state (2.5")drive will fasten on the new bracket with screws provided and the quick release bracket holes in your computer should line up with the new bracket holes (3.5") and hold the unit in place.

Well I have an NZXT Phantom Full Tower and it doesn't exactly fit that. To be specific space wise it fits but the screw holes don't line up at all. So take that as you will.
