Computer help: upgrading motherboard on HP Slimline s3137c?
Hi, I have an HP slimline s3137c. I have done some research but am having trouble finding a compatible aftermarket motherboard (mine went out). I just replaced the stock power supply with a KDM 270W unit. The stock motherboard is an Asus M2NC51-AR also known as HematiteXL-GL8E. It has an AM2 socket and has a form factor of Micro-ATX: 19.0 cm (7.5 inches) x 17.0 cm (6.7 inches).
If anyone can send me a link to an aftermarket motherboard that is compatible with my slimline, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hmm maybe I should just upgrade to a larger case+motherboard combo? I already upgraded the power supply which looks like it has all the correct cables to connect to a normal motherboard.

For most proprietary pc's the limitation is the size and shape so it fits in that box. That being said, there are 11 of that exact Asus board on eBay just now. Thats where I would go.

You do realize that HP used a proprietary form factor for the Slimlines, right? You aren't going to find a compatible motherboard unless you want to buy a used one from a parted out Slimline. Honestly, with that things age, you're better off getting something newer.
