I can assist with that. The HP M01-F1214 typically uses a Micro-ATX form factor, so look for an aftermarket board compatible with that size.

It seems like a completely different kind of motherboard. Checking the photos shows the rear IO shield is embedded directly into the case, unlike aftermarket boards that use a separate shield. Unless you're ready to customize the case—like adding mounting holes for an mATX board—you'll probably need a new enclosure. I think this isn't worth the hassle since you can usually find affordable options on classified listings.

It could resemble an MCIro ATX design, but the front connections are right on the motherboard itself, while the rear connections are neatly integrated into the case rather than using the usual cutout. Additionally, this setup falls under HP's 12VO power supply specialty. If you plan to replace the motherboard, consider removing everything else and using a standard board, case, and PSU.

The IO Shield is included within the case as noted. The front IO connects to the motherboard, which is built-in and probably has its own installation layout. It relies on a unique power source that comes in an irregular shape with uncommon connectors. Swapping out the board in these setups is generally not straightforward.
