OptiPlex 330 Motherboard Replacement

Hello, my friends.

I need your help. I have a OptiPlex 330 case and I wanted to replace its motherboard. I have Windows 8.1 disc, so that is no problem. The Motherboard I want is MicroATX. How can I find out if it will fit in the Case?

Thanks.

The board will fit, but you won't be able to use any of the front-panel controls (USB, power, etc) - these won't work with an aftermarket board.   You'll want a new case to go with the new board.

Also, if your Windows disc came with the Dell, it won't work with a third-party replacement board -- you will need to purchase a new license for Windows 8.1.
