The Cupertino3 motherboard will fit those cases. Retail bare PC cases don't use the HP front panel connector.

Pin-out is the same for most HP models.

The motherboard front panel is not marked. Refer to diagram in order to connect the new case wiring.

The motherboard will fit into any case that supports MATX motherboards and the IO shield is removeable. The USB 3.0 connectors are not compatible with the board so you will not be able to use those but any USB 2 headers can be connected fine.


I moved my cupertino2-H61 motherboard into a coolermaster masterbox 5 lite and it fit in just fine and I've had no problems so far.
