HP Pavilion 500-277c Desktop PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I process 100% for World Community Grid, for medical research, environmental and physical research, and my PC and CPU run hot, partially due to lack of air flow. I want to know what 2nd party PC cases will support my HP 500-277e, System Board 2AF7 1.04 motherboard. I prefer a 6" wide case, or any size, and I'm not concerned about the front USB ports, etc.

@mjc74 , welcome to the Community.

 

Here is a HP Knowledge Base article that will explain what to consider when attempting to move a HP motherboard to a third-party case.  I realize the article discusses gaming cases, but the same will apply to most cases.  Your best option is to pick a case manufacturer and contact their Tech Support to see if they can tell you if which of their cases may be compatible with a HP motherboard.  They are the experts on their products.
