So recently I came across an old desktop being the emachines T5026. Here is a challenge for all you hardware experts. I have done extensive research and cannot seem to locate the form factor for a motherboard replacement for the case this computer comes with. I want to rebuild this from the inside and enjoy it more but cannot locate the information needed to be able to do this. I am well versed in computer building and have experience servicing computers so once I find out the form factor for a new motherboard I can begin building my secret weapon. Any information would be helpful, thanks!

    Hi,

    Many cpu come with brackets (screws), both ATX and microATX, which tells us to be older, you may not have, but you can mount microATX motherboard this would be its format.

    Regards.

    @TJqualls7883 can you take a picture showing the motherboard? There are only a few major sizes so you can usually tell what will fit by looking at where the screws are and how many slots it has for expansion.

    Yeah I can grab a photo soon. I think the shape of this is custom by the looks but my best guess is either ATX or mATX
