[dimitristamp]

i have a prebuilt pc with a hp843b motherboard and i want to change the pc case but i dont know the size of the motherboard can you tell me if it is atx micro atx etc?

HP desktop PC motherbopards are generally a proprietary format, as in not micro or ATX.

So if I want to upgrade my case what case should I get

You have an HP Lincs motherboard. Originally the PC was likely to be an HP 590

Information on the Lincs motherboard.

The case is your choice.I won't make any recommendation beyond the following statement.

It will have to be one that accepts multiple types of motherboard footprints.

Look I want to by a case and I want to be sure it’s compatible, I found a case that supports atx , micro atx and mini itx will it be compatible with my case and if it’s not what should I get

Did you not read the reply where I stated that the motherboard is a proprietary footprint?

ιδιόκτητος

That means it is an odd fit.  The backplane, where everything plugs into the motherboard, will have to be open.

If the case you found supports atx , micro atx and mini itx, the motherboard standoff positions of one of those will probably fit.

One of the important forum rules is do no harm, that includes to your wallet, and that is why I won't make a specific recommendation.

I hope that is clear enough. 

I am  really not trying to give you a hard time.

I am just trying to stay within the forum rules in our interaction in your thread.

I can’t understand much because I don’t know really good English is my motherboard compatible with the kolnik obsEe story hf glass argb midi tower and if not tell me a random case that is compatible

I suggest using Google translate. It should help.

This is the translation for proprietary footprint to Greek,  ιδιόκτητο αποτύπωμα

The problem is that ιδιόκτητο αποτύπωμα is an IT term which means that the style of the motherboard is designed by HP engineers to fit their own designed PC cases.

I have no idea what a "the kolnik obsEe story hf glass argb midi tower " is.

[dimitristamp]

I understand what your saying but there should be a case that is compatible with this mother board like the case I want to buy is compatible with atx , mini itx and micro atx is it compatible or if it’s not what should u look for

I will repeat my previous statement for you.

Did you not read the reply where I stated that the motherboard is a proprietary footprint?

If the case you found supports atx , micro atx and mini itx, the motherboard standoff positions of one of those formats will probably fit.
