you didn't take these from the rms being replaced did you?! If so haha! I should have taken a few facias & power buttons.  It's only a matter of time until our surplus (unsupported now) break!

Do you think they'd notice if we took the motherboards out and replaced them with a bit of cardboard?

No. Unfortunately I bought them from Northgate long ago, at the time I didn't realise they were available elsewhere. Northgate insisted we bought them in quantities of 50 at *only ?37.50* per pack.
 
When I got them they were individually wrapped in wee bags with a CPC logo on them. When I looked up my CPC catalog I discovered that not only could I buy them individually, but that Northgate had marked them up by hundreds of percent.

I bought them direct from CPC. I bought a load of them since I thought they should work in the Dells too.
