Thanks for your response. The drive you mentioned, as far as I can determine, is a standard size drive and is too big for my Dell Dim. 4500s. Dell calls the drive that I want to replace "Slim". Two Dell e-mails have told me nothing regarding measurements. Another source states it may be 12.7 mm high. I have asked Dell for a DVD Burner that I can use in that drive slot and I get "NA" search.
There is a drive listed here that states it's compatible with the 4500 or 4500s. Would seem to indicate the standard drive would fit the 4500s as well.

I'm not sure of the actual dimensions, but the standard IDE "internal" drive is what you want.
Here is a sample of the size drive you want. http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Teac_DV_516E_DV516E_KIT_B
The dimensions are listed in the specs.
