When you look at the case from the front ......
If the right side opens up to give you access , then its unlikely you new parts are compatible

 

[princetechman]

it's the left side that allows me to access the case

something like this.... http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/265071-13-finished-dell-dimension-4600-rebuild-project-pictures

Then it should all work . Just check the brass stand offs that the motherboard screws to are in the right places .

After looking at those pics I would be tempted to improve the airflow through the case by cutting a hole for a front 120 mm fan if at all possible . This is not necessary but it will help keep things cooler

Thanks for the suggestion i will probably cut out a hole and add a 120mm fan later next year
