Where can I buy a motherboard for my HP desktop?

I need to buy a motherboard for my HP a1600n desktop (ASUS A8M2N-LA). Are there any stores in NYC (Manhattan preferably)? If you think I can place another motherboard than the one referred to above please tell me. Thanks.

1. You can get one in hp.com/support and they may have you send you for the same price your new windows licence and if you chat with the salesman in hp.com it will sugest you a better one and also you can purchase a new guaranty the other choice it is you can have a way better motherboard from another brand like asus.com but you has to reinstall windows and get a new licence that will you bring down another $100.00 unless you are a torrent freak and get for free.
2. Obviously, HP would be the first choice of many people. Not me, because they are way too expensive. You should be able to get the specs for this board from the ASUS web site. Take those to a local store that sells motherboards and let them match what parts you have to a new board. For example, you probably want to reuse your current CPU, memory and add-in cards. If not, consider a much more modern and faster motherboard/CPU/memory combination. If it were me, I would analyse your boards specs and pick the best one. I would then order it from my suppliers, since I carry only an extremely small variety in stock. I'm saying that so you know that you don't have to take just what they have on the shelf. I have no idea what the other answer was talking about, so I can't comment on it, but what's that about Windows?
