Putting New Parts In Old Pc Case???

[bobby8890]

Ok so i have a dell dimension desktop only about 3 years old,and i was wondering if i could build a new atx based system system and put the parts in the dell case?

I think the answer is no since Dell cases are proprietary.

Dell seems to build their cases so only their parts will fit in it. Why would you want to use a Dell case anyway when you can get a good on on Newegg for less than $50.
