Hello everyone, I own an SFF-style PC similar to a regular HP Compaq 6200 PRO. I’m looking into whether it’s possible to remove the internal components and move them into a different case. Also, I know the power supply won’t fit because it was built for this specific chassis. I’ll also share a photo of the machine and the motherboard chipset, which is an Intel Q65 Express.

It seems the motherboard isn't designed with the usual ITX enclosure style, which could mean it won't fit in your case. Using a compatible board and power supply should resolve the issue.

You cannot move to a standard case without swapping the motherboard as well. This specific model uses a motherboard that isn't compatible with regular cases. To fit properly, it needs to be installed in a case designed for its layout.

It's difficult to achieve this due to extensive proprietary restrictions.

Check the motherboard type and search for a matching case. If it’s an ITX model, options may be limited.
