If the 3000 isn't a mini/micro ATX case then that motherboard WILL fit in the computer. Only thing you will need to replace (in most cases) then you will need to change the back panel so that all the holes fit in the right spots.

I am pretty certain that a dimension 3000 dont have a atx case which means most likly that motherboard is not going to fit in your case. So you would have to replace the case also to get that motherboard. Finally I dont know if dell still does this but some people use special PSU that only work in the motherboard they use. This means it possiable that you would have to replace the case and PSU in order to use that motherboard.

i am going to correct all of you. Now the motherboard is a microatx motherboard
http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=P4P800-VM&langs=09 The dell is an ATX mid tower. So the motherboard isn't going to fit without a new psu. |

A new PSU will be needed, AFAIK Dell is still in the 'We like non-standard ATX mainpower connectors'

The dell 3000 uses a special psu made just for dell by pcpowerand cooling. The connectors for the motherboard are different. Though the motherboard may fit, but not with the same psu or at least not in most oems... The ppl in this forum have no clue even the moderator
