I just bought a dell XPS 710 case...should I stick to the BTX setup or mod my case for ATX setup?

I know the difference between ATX and BTX. I also know my case is set up strictly for BTX motherboards. I want to build my dream PC. Do I stick with the design of the case...or do I mod it to fit ATX? Could I pull some good performance out of a BTX? and if so...what do you suggest?I just bought a dell XPS 710 case...should I stick to the BTX setup or mod my case for ATX setup?
You can get good performance from a BTX board but ATX is far more popular and would give you many more options. Doing a case mod is out of the question as the slot placement change would leave you a cobbled hunk. If you want to go ATX, I would suggest purchasing a new case. Even a cheap new ATX would be better than a cobbled hunk.
