Your current motherboard is full size ATX, I wouldn't foresee any issues putting any 2011-3 ATX motherboards in there

 

[dkcz2461]

thank you but will the lights and fins work

 

[C12Friedman]

It's actually a good thing you clarified since I am now unsure of which model you have. My original research showed a full ATX system but Dell is showing a Mini-ITX in their information (you couldn't get the corner of an ATX board into a mini-ITX case). Can you post an image of the back or link to the exact model's picture. I'm getting conflicting information from every page I visit.

i would be careful with changing motherboard. definitely research it. some alienware use a completely different power supply pin out order on the 20+4 pins and you will completely fry a 'normal' motherboard if it is. also i would imagine most alienware is a micro atx if not itx sized motherboard.

thank you I will upload the pics as soon as possible
