Comment:

Is it true that to replace a motherboard you have to replace the computer case?

Not usually, but it *could* happen. It depends on the case & the board

If you are using a "branded" computer, like Dell, HP, Compaq or one like that, very likely you need a new case.

It depends entirely on the system. Since you haven't provided the name of your manufacturer or model, it's had to say specific to your system. If you're replacing a board on a machine with an identical board, then you will not have to change the case. So, the answer to your question, as stated,is no. Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
