If it's a microATX motherboard on the Dell 745, it should go with the Antec 300 just fine.

However, I'm a little skeptical about the Power Supply. Doesn't seem to be ATX and is probably low quality. So I would definitely suggest a new, good quality PSU for the Antec 300.

Thank for your response and good advice.
I got a new HPE 8 1090t with a i7 cpu and 12 GB of ram
and some of my 32 bit Xp programs won't run on it .
I have read that 32 bit Xp will only see 3 gb of ram .
I can get a dell 745 Optiplex cheap with a 3.2 Hz CPU with 3 gigs of ram.
I could be wrong but I think the dell 745's PSU won't fit well ,it's kind of
L shaped and I think it's 305 watts .I wondering if 350 watts would be ok?
I wouldn't be using it for gameing.
I know very little and I don't want to make the case smoke.
Thanks !
Jim So. City
