In this case it was that the vendor claimed compatibility with the Dell <br>
H305P-02 but it had a completely different motherboard connector.<br>

Less about compatibility, more about picking quality components from a <br>
wide variety of options. A good CPU for multi-core stuff, and a good <br>
motherboard it can sit on. Why DIMM Y and not X? A discussion on power <br>
consumption and quiet operations.<br>
<br>
YouTube is okay to learn the process, but doesn't do data well. If I <br>
look at a spec sheet that says "For 8+ core desktop, use CPU A, <br>
Motherboard B, at least Q RAM, and one of the F brand video cards." That <br>
would take me an hour on YouTube, or sub 5 seconds on a wiki.<br>
<br>
While there are unique system requirements, there seems to be a general <br>
set of: desktop, desktop with video, desktop gaming, file server, backup <br>
server (w/raid array), and firewall/proxy server. You could start that <br>
sort of wiki page and save a lot of the emails. :)<br>
