What type of Motherboard is this?
I'm upgrading my PC, and I want to change my motherboard. However I don't know whether my current case will fit the board/ support it. The board is a micro atx.
What type of motherboard is this? Dell Inc. 0K83V0
Thanks!

Dell typically uses a custom connection between the motherboard and front panel on their cases. And it's usually different from PC model to model.
So even if the new board fits into the old case, you may have problems connecting it to the front panel unless somebody has mapped the wiring or you can do it yourself.
Dell doesn't make that wiring info publicly available...

So I may not even be able to plug the power cable into the motherboard?

That's different and depends on what connectors each motherboard uses for power.
The Inspiron 560 manual shows both a 4-pin 12 V power connector (ATX12V1) and a 24-pin main power connector (ATX1_POWER1). I don't know what ATX12V1 is used for.
There are a total of 5 different connectors on the motherboard for the front panel, including 3 for USB and 1 for audio, in addition to the front panel connector which probably goes to the power switch and to the hard drive activity light, etc.
