The Antec case you have chosen is an ATX case, and the Dell computer that you have is in a BTX case. These two things don't go together. This will explain better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BTX_(form_factor)

Here are some images of ATX stuff: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS359&q=atx+images&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&sa=X&ei=DB52TfD1A8SdgQeV3LHVBQ&ved=0CCAQsAQ&biw=1399&bih=770

One way to differentiate between ATX and BTX is to remove one side panel and look squarely at the motherboard. If the rear connectors are to the Left, it is ATX. If the rear connectors are to the Right, it is BTX.

To fit Dell components in a different brand case, is a stretch. This is because Dell has many 'proprietary' features designed-in into Dell products. This includes, but is not limited to motherboard mounting points and methods.

Take this into consideration when you are making changes.
