in september 2008, mathematicians at ucla participating in gimps won part of a $100,000 prize from the electronic frontier foundation for their discovery of a very nearly 13-million-digit mersenne prime. the prize, finally confirmed in october 2009, is for the first known prime with at least 10 million digits. the prime was found on a dell optiplex 745 on august 23, 2008. this was the eighth mersenne prime discovered at ucla.

dell optiplex from 2005 to 2009 used the btx series of cases. the first model to sport the new btx case was a limited amount of gx280 computers, however they were still mainly sold in the older cases. the first dell optiplex to use the btx cases only was the dell optiplex gx520 & gx620 in 2005 and the last dell optiplex to use the btx cases was the dell optiplex 780 in late 2009 (excluding dell optiplex 780 ultra small form factor, which used the series 4 usff case) the case shared many similarities to a similar btx style dimension line of computers, including the 3100 series, the 9100 and the amd powered e520 series which shared similar components such as the front panel mounted fan..
