You're checking if your motherboard is ATX and whether the connections match your new case. Make sure you confirm the board type first, then verify the pin layout and screw positions.
If it works, fitting an ATX or MAXT case is feasible—just check for screw holes at https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03885123
It doesn’t seem to be a standard ATX model, making it hard to get a clear image since it’s packed tightly. That resemblance to mine is notable—some details vary, but the screw holes match and the PCI ports are correct. My biggest worry is whether it will fit in a case other than HP’s. I understand manufacturers often tailor their designs for specific cases, so I’m hoping this isn’t the case with my motherboard.
Adjust some to align with a typical case while eliminating any protrusions on the case that don’t fit a screw.
