ok, back to the original question.
Along with the problems with the power supply. You are going to have problems with windows to, unless it is windows 98SE, which in that case you would be set to go.
Are you also able to remove the back plate of the computer case and install the one that came with your motherboard?
Do you have a copy of windows?

Back to the Question, I fear the motherboard fixings may also be proprietary which will also push you down the new case and PSU route. Not an expensive path and to its credit you get a nice stand up tower or any design you want, even flashing lights in newer cases.

Hippy, with your luck you are probably getting chased by some right now.

That's more of a truism than you may realise ;-)
split points between everyone that participated as everyone contributed.
Dell states that for electrical reasons it does not support upgrading to P3 system - this is prob due to PSU limits - you may need to upgrade your PSU as well to support the hungrier P3 chip
