that is a pretty small case from Dell. You would probably be ale to use almost every sized case out there (standing tower, non mini box crap thing lol) It actually specifies it as a "mini-tower" so you could go for a mini-mid tower and you shouldnt see any problems. the only issue with smaller towers is the graphics card sometimes doesnt have room to fit (if you have a large one, but you should be ok) - as well as if you have a larger CPU cooler but again, you'll be fine. since you are only changing case and no components
basically you look at the form factor of the case. your current one is MINI-tower, so the minimum you need is MINItower but bigger ones will work also.

You need a case that supports a mATX motherboard. It will say what supports in the specks the board and length of the video card is what you need to look for.
