    So it isn’t stupid anymore, but they could just find a random full size pc case somewhere and use it instead of this.

      It’s an OEM motherboard and it may not be a normal standard. The PSU isn’t normal either so it wouldn’t fit most *ATX cases. Plus, free is free.

        I thought dells aren’t as shitty as the competition, as I have a great experience with a Latitude 5290. I guess I was wrong.

          They’re not shitty. HP, Lenovo do the same shit - proprietary motherboards, limited feature sets, and minimal upgrade paths are typical of OEMs… It’s also why a lot of people recommend building to anyone.
