Hi

I have a 2018 Dell Inspiron 3470 dwsktop that I would like to use to build a NAS. Does anyone know what the motherboard form factor is?

Some searching may point to micro ATX and/or proprietary.

Ideally I would like to remove the motherboard and PSU and install into a 5 or 8 bay NAS (although it only has 3x SATA so maybe I'm stumped there)


Thanks

Don't bother.

1. Thank you!
2. Rubbish, I hate proprietary. However I'm just getting started building a nas (likely picking unraid) so I will just buy a usb 3.0 enclosure and get started. When I hit a wall I will build a unit from scratch.
