You didn't mention swapping the PSU or mobo, but just in case... I'm not sure if they still do it, but dell used to use a non-standard ATX design. This meant you had to use a Dell power supply with a Dell motherboard. When I tried upgrading a Dell with a new motherboard it took me ages to work that out.
