Hi Homeless Gamer,

The dimensions of XPS 8500 chassis shipped from Dell are:

Chassis designs are OEM specific for Dell computers and you may find it difficult to locate the exact connectors(power, hard drive etc). Standard ATX can accommodate motherboard of 305×244 mm dimension. ATX has following variants:

Name Width Depth
FlexATX 9 in (229 mm) 7.5 in (191 mm)
microATX and EmbATX 9.6 in (244 mm) 9.6 in (244 mm)
Mini ATX 11.2 in (284 mm) 8.2 in (208 mm)
Standard ATX 12 in (305 mm) 9.6 in (244 mm)
EATX (extended ATX) 12 in (305 mm) 13 in (330 mm)
EEATX (enhanced extended ATX) 13.68 in (347 mm) 13 in (330 mm)
WTX (workstation ATX) 14 in (356 mm) 16.75 in (425 mm)

So you can look for one, compatible with your computer. For more information you can refer to the link: http://bit.ly/Sq5U6J 

Please reply for further clarifications.
