you cant replace the motherboards on a dell. The motherboards, power supplies, cases are non standard.
So you had better hope that you are able to fix the ide controller or else you will need a whole new PC (the cost of getting dell to fix it is astronomical if you are out of warranty)
Please describe the problem in more detail.
