Moving to a new case housing

[ZainE]

Hi I just want to know if it's ok for me to move my pc components to a new case in order to upgrade and get more cooling fans to my pc.

@ZainE , welcome to the Community.

HP has their motherboards made to their specifications.  Therefore, they are not necessarily the same as a retail board.  The main concern is the hole spacing on the board matching the stand-offs in the new case.  Also, the front connectors don't always match those on the new case.  Your best option would be to choose a case manufacturer and contact their Tech Support to see if they can tell you if their case is compatible with a HP motherboard.
