You would have to DIY a lot, but it seems as a awsome little project!

Primary: Lenovo T61 / Intel Core2Duo T7200 @ 2.2GHz / 3GB DDR2 / NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M / Fedora 22 <<<< THE WHITE KNIGHT

Secondary: Compaq Presario CQ56 / AMD V130 @ 2.3GHz / 2GB DDR3 / AMD Radeon HD 4250 / Windows 8.1 <<< THE FORGOTTEN HERO

I think it's nice for a cool modding project, but I wouldn't use it out of the box.

Would it have standard atx mounts?

It looks like, but aren't motherboards on those cases made the other way around? With the I/O connectors on the right instead of the left. You would have to change the layout and use it like a reverse ATX case.

I would remove all the 5.25" bays, and try cleaning up the internals as much as possible. Also to cool components adequately you would want to with water, even if it's an AiO.

its all weird and upside down but not really.

GPU is facing up, but under the cpu, cpu is over gpu, but MB is on the right instead of left...

Yeah, Dell likes BTX. 

 

I'm really not sure why....I'd assume ATX would be cheaper since its mass produced anyway.

Yes, but cooler height is very limited for CPUs, you'd need an horizontal CPU cooler.

 

This guy modded the case, and converted the BTX motherboard form factor to ATX.

Looks complexe... not sure i want to do all that.

 

CPu cooler hight doesnt look that limited

You could fit a Cooler Master TX3, but not a Hyper 212 Evo, that's for sure.
