Dell Dimension 2400 Case / Motherboard

[Pinner]

I want to get a new motherboard for my dell dimension 2400, but im not sure if the motherboard i want to get will actually physically fit in the dell case.

The Motherboard i have found is a "Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000MK Micro ATX (Socket 478) Motherboard (MB-029-GI)"

Thats what i was planning on doing but people said Dells have tendency to regect, for some reason, new mobo's. Dont think it is true since you are putting it on the case but w/e. I am building my own comp. Could you give me a link to this motherboard you have picked out?

Apparently its just the power supply that causes problems, but as i have already got a different power supply I think ill be ok.
The motherboard i have chosen is for intel celeron/pentium, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Gigabyte_Socket_478.html

On the motherboard?

No, the phase change cooling system. Of course the motherboard.

If your dell's motherboard is on a slide out tray good luck getting it off.

iv had the great experience of tryingt to upgrade a new mobo to replace the dell. first it will never fit in the dell case, because dell made up their own form factor called "dell doenst need to follow standards" or somtin like that. its not atx, and is in a tray that an atx mobo won't fit on. if your getting a new case then that would be much easier.
