By far the most popular ATXGeek post of the past year has been
"Dell Inspiron 3050 Micro Teardown" which kicked off an active comments-based dialog concerning upgrade and modification options for Dell's nicely-priced, micro-sized system. The comments for that post now exceed 350 entries so it's time I waded through all the great contributions to summarize some things we've learned in the 9 months following the 3050's launch.
I won't attempt to include all new info in one post. Instead, I'll begin with the top item of conversation these past 9 months: that elusive
SATA cable.
What new thing do we know? We know that Dell *does* offer a SATA cable that works for the 3050 and we now have photos and the Dell part number for that very special cable...
