XPS 700 / 710 / 720 ATX conversion kit

Question

This is a great idea that huggy_bear has submit on dell IdeaStorm. It will be great if more people promote the idea and post there thought on it. The more vote we get the more chance we have that dell consider it.   http://www.ideastorm.com/article/show/10079299/ATX_conversion_kit_for_XPS_700__710__720   Here is the description of the idea as huggy_bear post it:   Apparently the upcoming XPS 730 is now using a standard ATX form factor for its motherboard (vs. BTX for the previous XPS generation(s), i.e. XPS 700, 710 and 720).Since the XPS 700 was originally advertised as upgradeable at its introduction, it would be more than welcome from Dell to offer the option of an upgrade/conversion kit for XPS 700/710/720 owners to upgrade their system to the same ATX form factor (for a decent price). Kit would provide the following components:1) ATX motherboard backplate mount2) Power supply connectors/ATX converter3) back panel4) front panel I/O connector/ATX converter (power button, LED lights, I/O (USB/IEE1394), sound...). 300

While I appreciate the upgrade kit that was offered at no charge to early XPS 700 customers, I still REALLY wish Dell hadn't opted for the BTX platform. That being said, there really wouldn't be an easy way to 'convert' a BTX system to ATX. IIRC everything is completely mirrored around backwards.
