I was wondering if a dell dimension 4600 motherboard will work with this case? Ive done research.......and no one seems to have tried this before.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811144042

For all the custom stuff ive done to my computer i cant seem to figure this out and we might buy it soon.

Ive heard dell uses their own motherboards that arent compatible with atx cases.......

Correct, Dell uses its own mobo's (thats why you need to build a pc smile.gif

The ATX board will not fit inside a Dell Box. All you need to do is but another case. Many cheap ones out there, lpus you will get better cooling from buying a couple extra fans to go on the case..
Here is a descent Case.

Just curious, why are you moving a dell mobo to another case? Are you slowly rebuilding?

Umm, just to let you know most Dells use Micro-ATX, so if the 4600 isn't an ATX that case you choose won't work. You would need one that is either cross-compatible or specifically made for an ATX. But if the 4600 is an ATX, no worries.

To answers everyones questions, My dad wouldnt let me build a computer. So he he bought me a dell, So im pimping it up with an atx/microatx compatible case and a 430 watt power supply. Extra ram, slaved hdd....things like that.
