Look harder. Is there a sticker anywhere on the pc case?
Move some cables outta the way. Yer already going to install a drive so
yer not afraid to get your hands dirty right?
Mobo id is often an FCC ID # xxx-xxx-xxxx or something.
Any identifying marks can be run thru a search engine.
Ive found info on every mobo Ive searched on. What brand is the box?
None? Hmmm what BIOS screen do ya get? Award, Phoenix?

You give up too easily :)

Oh yeah, you havent finished TASK ONE: get the identifying marks off the
mobo and run em thru g00gle.
