Can I use the Dimension 2400 case

I am planning to upgrade my wife's old dimension 2400 with a C2D configuration. I already have my old E2160, 4GB DDR2 RAM and 8400GS. All I need is a motherboard, PSU and case. If I get a microatx motherboard and PSU, will they fit in the Dimension 2400's case. Or will I have to get a new case?

It may be doable, but I seem to remember that the wiring for the power button may not be standard (I seem to remember my 8250 had a ribbon cable-type thing that looked kind of like a mini PATA cable instead of the normal connectors for the front panel), so if you aren't good with that kind of wire splicing thing, you may want to buy a case... of course if I'm remembering wrong, all bets are off.
 
I also have an Antec P180B case, that is sitting unused in my basement. I still think it is one of the most overrated piece of crap made by Antec. Used it one week, poor heat dissipation, flimsy plastic cover, and front usb slots that snapped on pressure!!!!
