Motherboard size?
I have a Inspiron 546MT with a Dell Inc. 0F896N motherboard and I'd like to move it to a custom case.
My problem is I can't seem to find out if it's a ATX or a MicroATX size.
Any ideas?

I looked up the manual for your computer. It LOOKS like an ATX motherboard, but either way be very careful. Dell generally uses custom motherboards to fit their cases and designs. I had an E510 with a BTX motherboard and everything was upgradable etc, except the powersupply was a custom gig with different power connectors.

Hmm now I'm not sureif I should bother dishing out the $ for a case if they tend to be custom.Shame I can't find out if it actually is or not..oh well.
Thanks for the reply!

The wiring and back panel are not standard issue - moving to another case is not going to be trivial.

The Inspiron 546mt has a Micro ATX motherboard.
