    Is there a way to mount a Dell motherboard from a Dimension 4600 to a diffrent case? I was told that they are custom mounted to the Dell case but then i heard that they can be remounted somehow. Can someone help me on this.

    You would need to mod the motherboard tray on the new case, if possible. While Dell boards are generally micro-ATX form factor, their mounting points are usually not standard.

    I'd say the best way would be to drill and tap your own holes so that the motherboard will line up, then put standoffs in them. (to keep the motherboard from touching the tray.
