Dell dimension 2350 desktop... Any SMALLER cases compatible?
Hey guys.. I was given a 2350 p4 1.8ghz computer. I pretty much have no use for it, but then i remembered. I need a carputer! Hehehe. So this is good. My question is, are there any cases that I can put that motherboard into? Or should I just rip it all out and throw it in a custom box? My trunk space is pretty small. It could fit as is but it would look too bulky and ugly.

Dell doesn't follow any particular formfactor for their SFF systems.
It's their own formfactor, really, and follows no known standards.

My PC is mounted in an MDF box.
You should be fine.
