Anyone know where to get Dell cases, plus a question about Powerleap.

About a year ago I bought a Dell Precision 410 workstation from egay for around $200. It has served me well as a Linux box but I felt that it was time for an upgrade. I went back to egay and bought a 420 motherboard because I knew that they used the same chassis and power supply. When I got the mobo today, to my surprise it wouldn't fit into the case. The connectors on the mobo and the case didn't fit. Does anyone know where I can get a 420 case with our without the power supply? I would like to use my new mobo as it has SCSI and SCSI RAID!

On a side note....if I cannot attain a 420 chassis, I was looking into the powerleap cpu adapter and throwing on a pair of 1.2ghz cellys? How is the performance on these things? How does it compare to a 100mhz FSB P3 1Ghz? Faster, slower? Thanks guys.
 
I bought the PowerLeap for my Dell Dimension. It was a pIII 600 originally and the improvement is hugely noticeable. Unfortunately I can't give you a comparison between a 1ghz as I haven't used one.
