@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.
