I want to upgrade my CPU, and I checked the motherboard documentation and it does not support the CPU I want. Therefore, I need to upgrade the mobo. Does anyone know what types of motherboards fit in the case, not just phisically, but the screws and stuff too.

    Your Aspire TC-780 uses a DTX motherboard, so supports that at least. In addition when we look at the case it shows two extra slots available that the DTX motherboard doesn't have, so it likely supports the wider uATX form factor as well. The mounting holes are the same between the two sizes, the DTX has a single x16 slot for a GPU and a single x1 slot for other expansion. The uATX allows for two more slots.

    Thank you! Upgrading mobo and wanted to use the same case, answered my question perfectly!
