Question Case Swapping Thinkstation p510

So I have been wanting to get the internals out of my p510 for quite a while now and have been thinking about putting it into a new case. I know it has a proprietary psu and motherboard and I am wondering how exactly I would put that stuff into a new case. And I am also wondering if I could use a regular ATX psu on the Lenovo propriety motherboard. I know you can get an adapter for HP motherboards but I haven’t heard about it for any Lenovo motherboard. So any help would be appreciated.

Specs of the computer include:
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Processor: Intel Xeon E5-1650 v4
Motherboard: Lenovo 102f
Ram: Samsung 128gb @ 2133mhz
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 980 Ti
Storage: 2x 500gb M.2 & 1x 256gb SSD
Power Supply: 650w 80+ Gold

Your best option you have if you really want to get out, is just spend the extra money Gaming X99 and get a new ATX PSU like a 750 watt. Maybe other people have a better option.
That is another option but I don't have the money to buy a new motherboard and psu. I'm hoping for a cheaper option where I can just use my original motherboard and maybe the original psu in a new case. But thanks for the advice.
