anyone know of any performance motherboards thatll fit into a dimension e310 case

 

[hjjfffaa]

ok no one thats disappointing

Fitting into the case may be the wrong question. I believe that dell uses the standard atx format, so most performance mobos should fit.
I think it may even use an industry standard power supply, though you may need to upgrade it. The biggest problem you will probably have is the proprietary front panel connector.
I'm not much into dell, but someone with more familiarity shoulc be along soon.

o it looked kinda small compared to other cases ive seen

 

[hjjfffaa]

anyone think something like skulltrail will fit in it

No. Not to mention the cooling required for it.

 

[hjjfffaa]

Crap, but the cooling i could take care of and make it external

 

[hjjfffaa]

well whats the most powerful thing that will fit

Got a tape measure? ATX standard mobos are 12 inches, top to bottom.

The skulltrail board is standard ATX height, but looks to be about 16 inches deep.
Most cases wont be big enough, without a mod.

ill mod it good thing i can weld

Honestly.. if you have the money for a Skull Trail system, why not spring for a proper case?

 

[hjjfffaa]

becuase the propoer case might be to tall for where i have it

"Might" be?

How much space do you have? Did you measure it? Did you check dimensions on something? If you are planning on putting it in a space that you aren't even sure if it has enough room around it, have fun cooling it....

Skull Trail is a minimum $3000 for just the CPUs and Mobos.

 

[hjjfffaa]

if it only has to be wider or longer then thats not problem

 

[hjjfffaa]

look the only problem i have i height other wise it wouldnt matter and ill be able to cool it

 

[Grimmy]

Heh.. ask dell.. they made the darn thing.

Other then that, just buy the right PC case that will fit the MB of your choice, that fits in your problem area.

And the thread should have been placed as other components rather then CPU to keep the forum organized.

Edit:

Or case mods.. bah

How much space do you have?

Mountain Mods cases aren't that tall.

 

[hjjfffaa]

for hieght i have something like 22 inches

 

[hjjfffaa]

but id like to keep it like a few inches shorter for at least a little cooling space

well can anyone tell me what i originally posted here for i want to know what performance motherboards will fit into the dell dimension e310/3100 case

 

[endyen]

As I said earlier, all standard ATX form factor mobos will fit. That means all mobos except special ones like server, or dual chip boards.
