The motherboard for that computer seems to be a Mini-ITX style, not very common, and I don't think you can mount it at all in a regular ATX case with out serious modifications of the case.

Here is a list of all the MINI-ITX cases at newegg, note, they are all still rather small.

I personally prefer Newegg.com - LIAN LI PC-Q11B Black Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case

Mostly because the PSU is as far as possible from the CPU, and it has a large front intake fan, and appears to have great cooling abilities for such a small case. But, it isn't cheap, can you tell us the specs of your current PSU that the HP is using?

danm they all pricy i hate to spen over 100 bucks for a case on a comp that wont be gaming lol
thanks for that list i really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
what if i change the motherboard to a bigger one and reuse everything including the cpu what mother boards would i need.
i want to know if is worth doing and again nothing to pricy,

If you wanna spend some time, look at the regular ATX cases at newegg, just make sure when your looking at them, that you click specifications, and make sure it lists Mini-ITX as a form factor that it can support, I saw one, but, it was a bit expensive.

You will be better off just changing the case over buying a new motherboard, as a new motherboard, would require atleast a repair of your OS install, and a new case.

EDIT: Well, I decided to go ahead and look around.

This case is listed as supporting MINI-ITX, but doesn't come with a PSU, when getting a case, don't worry about it having one, or not, as they are usually of horrible quality, you should purchase one separate that has a good reputation.

ohh that's nice i like it plenty of room and options for cooling very nice.
i have a PSU a friend let me have after i upgraded his for gaming. Bad thing it only has sata plugs so if i want to add more fans im screwed .
I can tear a pc apart and put back together like nothing but have very little knowledge wen it comes to parts.
thanks a lot for the help bud

i think i found a cheap solution for the fans

Nice find on the adapter, I haven't seen one of those yet, that will come in handy as I have more sata than molex.

 

[Drogos]

yeah they definitely will at least till i buy a better PSU

Here are the cases on NewEgg that can handle mini-ITX:
Newegg.com - Computer Hardware,Computer Cases,Computer Cases,mini-itx

It looks like most Antec cases will do the job for you. Pair up the cheapest Antec case in a combo with a 550W PSU for $69.98:

Don't forget, the slimline psu WILL NOT FIT in a regular case. So Trotters idea is the smartest, the case/psu combo.
