dell just uses other components puts them together then charges a premium. Im pretty sure you could replace the case if its your standard tower comp just have to find one compatible with everything in your current case.

Ken i wouldnt have done it any other way

lol good luck finding one. I had a dell several years ago. all dell mobo's are drilled into the side. but the thing is, is that mobos are on the opposite side inside the case.

Like when you look at most computers in the front. mobo's should be on the right side. but dells are on the left. as long as you can drill your own holes and get the dimensions right, it should work.

hope it helps. my dell was the worst thing i have ever gotton for free..lol

Whilst Dell uses Stock Parts, theyre different, made just for dell, who use a different layout, so you cant really just put it in a clear case, or any case....
