I am looking to replace my dimension5150 witha Inspiron 570MT,, is this possible and will the 570 be compatable with my HP Printer.

From the looks of the mobos this is a possibility. One uses AMD processor, while the other is Intel. The 570 board appears to be small form factor. I make no guarantees though.

What's the reason for using a different model? I saw a lot of each for sale on Amazon

Optical drive failed the Spindle test.

Make sure the SATA power cable, and SATA data cable; are tight to the optical drive. Still no? Replace optical drive.

Try to solder.

The specs say the PSU is ATX compatible. Whether that is for the connector only or for the whole power supply is something you will have to determine.

If you have an ATX power supply handy (like in an old computer) give it a try. This one is only 300 Watts so it won't likely be expensive to replace.

Have a look at: http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/dell-dimension-1100-shuts-down-after-20-seconds.135987/

Driver available here.

Remove the harddisk from the old PC and connect it to the new pc's motherboard as secondary harddisk then start transferring files to the primary harddisk of the new PC.

If you look on the back of the PC, there should be a yellowish jack in the back. That is where you insert the connector for the speakers to.

Not according to the HP site.

It shows 96, 97, 99, and 100.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Its possible but it looks to me like alot of the operating systems that printer can be hooked up to:

According to HP at least on that page I gave you, as long as your running windows xp, you should be fine. If your running anything older then that then you would run into a problem.

Also keep in mind if the printer is having problems that would make it seem like there would be compatibility issues as well. Download the driver for your printer and then install it and see what happens.

yes
