I'm kinda a noob when it comes to working on the computer. I need to know what other motherboards will work with this computer. The current motherboard is fried. This will be an extra computer in the bedroom to do some internet surfing.
 
You will have to go back to dell to get a replacement motherboard since your case connections probably won't connect to a regular motherboard without doing some major modding of the connections. Only other choice would be to get a new case and power supply.
 
Hit or miss, honestly. It varies with different parts for different models. There are some for $70 BIN on ebay, plus $10 shipping. Much cheaper than building a new system (even after the parts you could move over - HDD, Ram, CPU). Of course, *your* priorities will determine how you spend your money - are you happy with your system now, or is it worth the time/money to build another?. Keep in mind that the current Windows install is directly tied to a Dell system and it cannot be transferred over, so if you decide to buy new parts and do a budget system, you'll need an OS.
