ATX, BTX, or other?

Hello, I have a late 2005 Dimension 5100 and my power supply is out. To replace it i need to know what kind of motherboard i have. Is there an easy way to tell? Ive been searching all night and all ive come up with is that dell MAY have switched back to ATX in 2002. Can anyone help me?

It is an ATX12V power supply with a single 24-pin connector.

The D-5100 systems do not use Dell proprietary power supplies, most standard ATX power supplies with either a 24-pin or 20+4-pin main motherboard power connector, can be used.

As the D-5100 has an open back panel, a power supply with or without the on/off switch can be installed.
