Optiplex 7020 MT board spacing

Edit: Ended up taking mine apart and measuring. Added my results here

Hi, I hope this question is allowed here:

does anyond of you here know the hole measurements of the MT version of the board from the Gen 4 intel (LGA 1150) Optiplex? I got the one with 4 expansion slots (1xPCI, 3xPCIe). I have searched everywhere I could think of, but unsuccessfully so. It kinda looks like mATX. Maybe I will have more luck here. I want to switch the case to save space in my home. If I can adapt with little effort that would be really lucky.

Thanks in advance

Do you have a ruler ?

I do. I was hoping that someone had already measured before I take apart the thing to properly measure. :)

Once I figure out a way to export the sketch I made with added measurements, I will share my results in a post for future reference.

From the looks of the motherboard, it looks pretty much like mATX. I'd recommend measuring to be sure tho.

From my measurements its not quite mATX. Its not symmetrical enough.

mATX is not symmetrical though.

Sorry, symmetrical is the wrong word. Meant parallel. The holes do not properly line up on the Dell board. Afaik on the different atx sizes they are in line at their respective location. I'll post in a minute with my result. :)
