Ok I know my way around a computer but can I take a Dell Dimensions 2400 series motherboard and put it in another case

Obviously. You can take ANY motherboard and mount it in a new case.

I thought people knew this.

Not necessarily. There are proprietary motherboard designs, mostly in low-profile, small form factor, and some Dells, that don't conform to ATX standards. Theoretically they could fit, but you'd have to do a whole lot of hacking to fit everything in properly.

But in this case, it looks like you can. The 2400 was built after Dell smartened up and used ATX boards rather than their own wacky designs.

Why would you bother doing anything with that tired Socket 478 2.6ghz P4 with 333mhz DDR RAM, especially if it's a bone-stock machine? Save up for a while and build yourself a new C2D rig. At least then you'll get modern memory and PCI Express slots.
