Need New Case

[BarePaw]

I have a Dell Dimension 4100 Desktop that is just over 4 years old. I am looking at getting a case that sits level instead of upright. I have never done this before. I was looking at this one:

Will all the components from my Dell fit properly? What are the compatability issues with changing cases? What does the case manufacturer mean when they say ATX versus Micro ATX Motherboards? Which would my Dell have? I have never done this before. Thanks for the help.

In my experience all proprietary systems are impossible to switch to a custom case.........check your back plate against the new case, get measurements first. That's why I never buy proprietary.......custom is the only way to go! Good Luck

Dell cases use DTX (silly dell)
