Default Repairing Dell's

Been ask to fix someones Dell Dimension 5100, appears to be a motherboard fault. I'd like to just replace the board.
There seem to be a few places selling them, but does anyone know to get the Dell part number?
cheers

Cheers Midlife. I've searched the net quite a bit, but most them have multiple part numbers, and some are different variations of the 5100 board. I can't see any of the part numbers I've seen on the net, on the board itself.

Did try ebay, but would prefer to go for a brand new board if possible. Most tend to be US sites, so would prefer UK only too.

I used the service tag to check the spec online, and couldn't see the part number on there.
Didn't want to call up as its not in my name, and well out of warranty.

Cheers guys. Yeah I wasn't looking to go to dell direct. I knew it was going to be 300 plus quid for the part.
I got the part number now, its the first 4 digits of a long barcode on the board.

I'm debating whether to go for a new motherboard or not. They don't mind having a new pc built from scratch.

So its either the hassle of a new build, new OS install etc or the hassle of getting a new Dell mobo, and it not being the problem.

OK so I'm going to get them a new case (the dells front panel connector looks to be a board specific ribbon cable), motherboard and PSU. The Optical and hard drives should be OK.
I want to keep the CPU to keep costs down for them. Its a Pentium 4 Intel LGA775, but how do I find the chipset that it needs? They have mobo's on overclockers listed by LGA775 and then chipset types.

Could anyone reccommend a cheapish board to use on this cpu? HEre is the link to the Dell specs: Dell System Information / Dell Warranty Extensions & Upgrades / Dell Warranty Status
