    You will have to look carefully at the power connectors on the motherboard, the power supply and the card positions. HP uses a proprietary power supply so you may have to get another one to move to a different case. Same with the motherboard and the cooling. You have to check it out very good. you may also need longer cables for the drives.

    Yes and any where on the web. A smaller form factor should fit fine in a bigger atx case as well. Tiger direct, newegg.com, micro center should have them. Micro center I really like and I have one about an hour from my house.
