If you're on Windows, dired is using the Lisp emulation of `ls', that
is, ls-lisp.el. You can configure it to be case insensitive. My .emacs
has this:

(when (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
  (setq ls-lisp-emulation   'MS-Windows
        ls-lisp-dirs-first  t
        ls-lisp-ignore-case t
        ls-lisp-verbosity   (nconc (and (w32-using-nt) '(links)) '(uid))))
