Question What is the chassi type of the dell dimension e521?

[Snarpkvartez]

So I have this ancient dell dimension e521 tower pc from 2007 laying around at home that I have used as a plex media server with the latest ubuntu server installed to stream movies.

I am thinking of performing some major upgrades on it and that includes a more modern motherboard but I am not sure what chassi type it is and what type of motherboard I should put in it to allow for the upgrades.

What do you think?

Read this thread. I'm curious, how much of an upgrade would you want to do? You might want to look at a concurrent chassis that can aid you with your upgrades.

I am considering upgrading it so I can play modern pc games like overwatch and many other games but not the most demanding games like the latest battlefield or call of duty.

The case just looks too good for me to throw it away and I am not sure what I would do with it afterwards.
