What motherboard is in this computer?
It's a dell, and I've posted a picture of the case in hopes of that helping.
Thanks guys!

Where would I find that?

There should be a service tag on it somewhere that identifies the model and service tag. The service tag will uniquely identify the machine and the build options. The model name and number should also appear on the front on some sort of badge.

That's a problem. This computer was never really made. We have a tenant that does QC work for Dell and this unit got kicked early because the case got dented. There is no sticker like that anywhere. :tard:

Well, the picture is pretty hard to tell, but it looks like a Dell specific format. I don't think it's a standard ATX board or anything that would be easy to replace.

The case looks a lot like a Dimension series.

I couldn't tell if there was any Ram in there, but you could kind of reverse lookup off the ram and see if it can give you an idea of what kind of processor and whatnot it is.
The Dell service area of thier website is pretty good. You might even be able to cross search some of the numbers directly off the existing mobo to see what it is.

I was going to suggest service tag as well...lol

The motherboard model number is usually stamped between the PCI slots.

This may very well help you out:

EDIT: nvm - I didn't realize the machine was presently inoperable.

Can't tell from the resolution of the pic, but dell does generally make up their own form factors. Post a better pic and I might be able to tell you more about the mobo.

There's no model on the power button?
