@Facciabrutta , welcome back to the forum.

Here is a HP Knowledge Base article that will help you with determining if a motherboard upgrade in your case is possible:

I realize that it discusses moving the motherboard to another case, but you will have the same concerns with upgrading the motherboard using your case.

Actually, I am trying to replace the mobo for another one may be other than HP. I am trying to see my best options. In the case that I can replace the mobo will allow me to pic processor between other hardware options.

Thank you for the previous suggestion, but it is not what I was trying to transpire. Sorry if this was the case.

The stand-offs in the case are made to match HP motherboards.  Since HP has their motherboards made to their specifications, the cases have to match the motherboard.  Even HP motherboards for a different model of HP computer may not work with your case.

I am trying to see my best options. In the case that I can replace the mobo will allow me to pic processor between other hardware options.  Your best option would be to choose a motherboard manufacturer and contact their Tech Support to see if they can tell you which of their motherboards would work with your case.  They are the experts on their products.

Thank you for the previous suggestion, but it is not what I was trying to transpire. Sorry if this was the case.  You are welcome!  I hope my explanation above clears up some of the confusion.

Respectfully.
