I own an Aspire X3-710 desktop, and am looking for a compatible casing for what's inside. My main issue right now is that I cannot find the model name of the motherboard, so I can find a compatible casing. Does anyone know the model name of the motherboard or a compatible casing?

    The motherboard is a standard DTX form factor. That's a little smaller than a microATX, but they all use pretty much the same mounting holes. I can't remember if the power supply connector is 20 or 24 pin, but if you are going to be going into a new case you are likely replacing the power supply as well. The smaller supply used on the X3-710 is a tough one to upgrade due to it's size. The 220W are easy to find, larger are not.
