Does anyone make this adapter or would i need to make my own? I want to use my old dell vista case, but build a modern PC inside. I am a newbie so i am trying to learn the best approach. Any help would be appreciated.

    Find out what case model it is and you can check if a standard board fits. Dell sometimes has weird boards but I quickly Googled your board and it says it is a micro ATX board so the case should fit.

    Is it a Dell dimension 4600 or something like that?

      It’s BTX from an old Optiplex or something. I’ve worked with these plenty before.

      Thanks for the help, i keep seeing its micro ATX. I measured mine with calipers and created a quick 3D model in Onshape with the E210882 and the specs for a micro ATX and it doesn’t look like the holes will align. I will be receiving my motherboard next week so i was just trying to get ahead of the game. I do believe this is a 4600 board from the picture i have seen of other 4600 boards.

        Ah OK. Best thing to do is just give it a go when you go get the board but make sure there’s nothing shorting the back of the board etc.
