    acer aspire x1200 series motherboard

     
    hi can anybody tell me if the acer aspire x1200 series slimline desktops motherboard is mini ITX form factor or is it bespoke to that series

    the reason i ask is that a friend of mine has one which the power supply has failed in and given the cost of the replacement power supply from acer i am thinking it would be cheaper just to buy a mini ITX case with PSU and transplant the parts across
    thanks in advance

    The link you posted shows power supplies and batteries for the lappy version? Not sure what's up with that.

    Aspire X1200 Series Specifications
    Acer Support - Aspire X1200 Series Specifications
    Power Supply-> Industry Standard 220 Watt

    Here's one for $79 bucks:

    New Acer Aspire X1200 X1300 X1700 X1800 X3200 X3300 X3810 Power Supply

    Another for $129
    Skyline Engineering: Gateway ACER Slim Line Desktop Power Supply DPS-220UB A . PS-5221-06 . PY.22009.003
    That links make it look like the power supply is pretty standard.

    I'd be real concerned about getting the mobo to fit in a non standard case if you went that direction.
    Imagine a world where dogs took bad owners to the pound...

    hi thanks for your reply, slight problem in that neither of those companies will ship to UK not to mention the case she has seen is half the price of even the lowest priced PSU you have listed and as she is a student she is trying to get this done as cheap as possible especially as she is going to have to pay me to transplant the parts also,
    would just like to know the mobo form factor
    thanks

    p.s. the link was added by a third party, nothing to do with me :-s
