Ugh, no punctuation, terrible spelling, and horrible grammar making my brain bleed.

Most likely there is a specific connector from either the front panel of the case or from the PSU that is required on a proprietary motherboard like that of many Dells. Best bet would be to buy an aftermarket motherboard and transfer your CPU, RAM, etc into the new case.
