The Dell Cases are Proprietary.There is no such adapater.
Also the power supply pin out is different then a normal atx motherboard!
So best thing I can sugguest is go to dell.com enter the service tag number
on their site to get the information on that model
be it Optiplex or Dimensions series.

Good Luck
