[SOLVED] Is it possible to transfer the internals of an HP Pavilion 590-p0054 into any standard case?

I want to transfer the internals of my HP Pavilion into a new case to make space for a new graphics card and just improve overall aesthetics. I've heard HP has proprietary motherboard connections and sizes and just want to double check.

yup. it is not standard.

I do not think so without a good deal of compromises. the mounting holes look standard.

• Form factor: Customized: 24.9 x 26.7 cm (9.80 x 10.5 in)

that is not a standard motherboard and you will lose the front ports and switches if you install it into a larger case. you can extend the ports with extension cables. it is doable but its not a simple swap and done item either.

possible? yes
easy peasy? no
