I've worked on quite a few Dells and replacing the motherboard with one other than from Dell usually leads to problems with front panel connectors, fans, etc., as Dell does some proprietary things with their hardware. Most of these things can be worked around with some rewiring and new connectors, or changing the case, but it does end up being quite a pain.

What kind of features are you looking for? What will you use the computer for? ATX or mATX? Give some info and we can help.
