If I wanted to build a new system (new case, power supply, mobo) can I easily use my dell drives etc... without compatibility issues?
 
Thanks

The only drive/drives that may require some fudging are the floppy and sometimes the CD-RW/DVD-Reader due to the Dell case design. They don't always come with a standard faceplate or none at all as the front of the case cover does this function
 
The drive/drives themselves will still function, just may not look as good without the proper face plate is all.
