dell xps motherboard transfer

[marknader11]

I'm going to transfer the contents of my cps 8700 to a new case (along with a new Gpu and PSU) and was wondering if there is anything that dell does to their computers that would prevent me from doing that

The xps 8700 MB is the micro atx format. http://76.my/Malaysia/dell-xps-8700-socket-1150-motherboard-intel-z87-kwvt8-dz87m01-gy0530-beginner28-1509-03-beginner28@11.jpg

You can move it into other atx case, but make sure you take the note on the front pannel connectors, otherwise if you mixup them the PC will not boot, it is this https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP._82wKWXZ2aYCPgkivtkAxQEsCo&pid=15.1&P=0&w=289&h=163
If the case has USB3.0 port, you need to buy an adapter like this one https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812162025&cm_re=usb_3.0_to_use2.0_adapter-_-12-162-025-_-Product And keep in mind the front USB3.0 port will run at the USB2.0 speed.

I don't check your PC specifications, I thought it does not have the USB3.0, very sorry. Then you are fine.
