Dell 0RY206 Motherboard Slim to MT case swap

Last response: in Motherboards
Share

I have a Dell 531s (Slim) with a Dell model 0RY206 motherboad. I have finally decided to put a larger power supply and graphics card in it. The slim case however isnt very friendly to upgrades.

What I would like to do is get the Dell 531 MT case and move everything from the slim case in to it. The case would be like this one.

Than I could add a bigger power supply and video card.

I am pretty sure the MT case uses the same Dell 0RY206 motherboad but I am not 100%. If anyone can help determine if my slim components will directly fit the MT case I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank You
Adam

My advice would be to get a name branded case like cooler master, cause some of the newer video cards are long and may not fit in the dell case.I have a 531s and transferred it to a CoolerMaster rc-590.It has space for a lot of fans and runs very cool. Just my 2 cents.

i have one concern for your idea. i have an aging dell dimension 4600 (circa 2004). i had originally planned to build a new extreme low-budget system using the same case, but i had to give up on that idea when i found out that dell used a proprietary front panel connector. i can't say for sure if they still do this, but look into that. the motherboard might fit in the case, but if you can't even turn the computer on, there's really no point.
