Damn, it appears that this machine isn't what it is suppose to be. The "DP 450" on the back of the case really means "SP 400" and its a PM G4 AGP Graphics. Grr. Someone must have swapped out some parts at one time or another. Double grrr.
Too bad. I recently picked up a DP 450 from a Freecycle post. The processor and heat sink are noticeably larger in size than the standard single. As soon as I opened up the machine I knew something was weird about how the cpu looked. I then looked on the tag on the back to discover it was DP.
Okay, question for you then. Does your DP 450 have one or two power sockets on the back of the case? If the Digital Audio and Gigabit ethernet models share a power supply, then why is the Digital Audio one have two sockets and the (now known as the G4 AGP in a Gigi case) have one? If this case was from a Gigi, and it is supposed to share the PS with a DA, then shouldn't the back of the case have spots for two power sockets? Or am I just confusing the hell out of everyone? :O
