Will new motherboard fit into dell 8200 case?

[lilkiller]

I am in need of a new motherboard for my 8200 but I don't know if it will fit. The case only has 5 openings on the back while most motherboards have 6 pci/agp slots. Does dell use some weird kind of ATX or can I just stick a new motherboard in there?

Most dell cases won't work with standard atx boards without some physical modifications. If your current board doesn't work, check ebay for a dell replacement. Same for the power supply. Endpcnoise.com has a list of systems that only use Dell power supplies, and sells a special adapter for use with regular power supplies. I only mention this as sometimes it's not the mobo, but the ps that goes out.

I just wanted to get a new mobo that supports overclocking since the existing one doesn't. Is there a guide on how to modify a dell case to fit a standard ATX mobo? I like the way the dell case looks and don't want to get rid of it.
