Most likely not. I haven't looked at them, but in almost all cases each model is different from others. e.g. front panel connections vary from one to another and even with a product line (e.g. Inspiron or OptiPlex). The connections are proprietary and undocumented. Most Dell cases have the rear motherboard I/O shield as part of the case, not an insert like commercial ATX motherboards and cases have.
Its not impossible to use a motherboard from one in another but it will take some electronics skill and even mechanical cutting out the motherboard I/O panel. Then there is the motherboard mounting holes which again can vary from one to the other.

Totally different case, panel connections, power supply etc.
No this DOES NOT and WILL NOT ever work.
