I currently have a Dell Inspiron 530. I'm just wondering if that ATX or MicroATX. Can anyone help? _________________

| If it's Square Shaped, MicroAtx. If it's longer, ATX. |

| I checked google a bit for Dell Inspiron 530, most URLs I found say that the 530 is a micro ATX |

No no... It varies. Having 2/4 RAM slots doesn't mean you're using MATX/ATX.
ATX Motherboard should measure around (305 x 210mm).
MATX Motherboard should measure around (218 x 243mm).
And yes, your motherboard is mATX and your casing is mini tower  _________________

| I already said this once, I'll say it again. To the eye if the motherboard looks slightly square shaped, it's MicroATX. If one side is significantly longer than another it's ATX. |
