Hey, so i have the H-CUPERTINO2-H61-uA TX (Cupertino2) motherboard in my hp p6-2065uk and i'm wondering if it's possible to transfer it into the CoolerMaster HAF 912? I already have a new 600W corsair PSU and new GPU not installed in my current hp case.
Thanks


Also, Will front panel connectors prevent me from doing this?

Adapting the single front panel connector to a standard ATX case will be your biggest problem. I've seen ready made adapters, but they've always been a bit pricey. If you're good with a solder iron, you could probably make your own adapter.

The biggest problem is that the spacing and placement of some of the contacts is not right for the connectors that come with standard ATX cases.

I believe the pic, below shows the correct pinout, but check your HP documentation to be sure.

j18 is the correct and the case supports microatx motherboards
