You MAY be able to change the case but you are stuck with the Dell proprietary front panel connection, which is undocumented. You will have to figure out what motherboard pins are for the front panel power switch (and audio connections). There MAY be some case mechanical modifications that will also have to be made, considering Dell does not use a standard ATX motherboard (theirs is a custom OEM motherboard).
