your dimension dell is an oem build and therefore you cannot buy standard parts to replace the old ones. it isn't guaranteed, but most dell cases and parts will not accomodate a standatd (micro) atx board.

the only way you can find out is by measuring out the box yourself/trying to fit an atx board. some people could tell by looking.

that is correct. really the only parts of oem builds that generally are compatible with other pcs are the drives, cpu, and most expansion cards.
