    Hi all,
    My mother has the above PC which stopped working around two weeks ago (but it was giving gyp for around a month beforehand). I had it diagnosed, turns out the board is knackered, which would cost around €245 + €75 labour (and VAT on top) to fix, so I won't be going down that route.

    My question is, can I buy a motherboard that will fit the same footprint as the Dell, so I can reuse all of the other components (ram, hdd, video card, processor) and the case, or should I start shopping for a new case, PSU and board (that can I can use with 3 year-old kit)?

    Thanks
