I have the opportunity to buy a very cheap, second hand Dell T110 tower. However, I want to move most of the components, namely motherboard, processor and memory, to a rack case.
Is anyone able to work out if the motherboard is a standard size, e.g. mATX, as opposed to a proprietary form factor?
If it is of any help, the owner's manual shows the screw locations.
Did you even do a basic Google search? Tons of sites have pics and specs. – JakeGould – 2014-10-14T02:38:21.623
I did, thanks. They have pictures and specs, yes, but not the size of the motherboard. Please reverse your vote down. I can not tell from the pictures if that is what you mean. – Ben – 2014-10-14T02:43:40.630
most rack mount cases these days use SSI form factors (SSI EEB, CEB, and MEB). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_form_factor Most do not support ATX-varient form factors, but who knows, you might find one somewhere.

Thanks for pointing that out. I also have other cases in mind that state explicitly that they take mATX. – Ben – 2014-10-14T02:49:59.410
