Obviously, there are no updates available and I kept it up to date until MS a Dell (there is a special place in Hades for Dell customer service) stopped. I hesitate to reinstall all software for the concern if something goes bad along the way I am out in the cold.
I have no idea if the machine has an ATX motherboard but if someone can tell me where to look I'll check with software or hardware.

Guaranteed it is ATX or a sub of it if you are running Vista.
I would leave it on and just set the drive(s) and monitors to sleep and avoid the heat cyclces on the old board.
