Will it work? and can I take out the faceplate for the motherboard that it uses? from the hp computer? Or not? Please help me, as I'm reading that this is a very good motherboard, and don't want to spend $150-$250 on a new one, or would it be better to do that? As I'm doing this as I have a gtx 260 and it won't fit in the hp case. I don't know for sure if the faceplate can pop out? or can all motherboard faceplates be popped out?Can I use my motherboard from an hp computer? its the hp m9152p. into a custom case like Antec - Nine Hundred?
That motherboard is a proprietary one made by Asus for HP. It should fit the Antec case. Usually it has an equivalent Asus retail motherboard. They only differ in BIOS. The retail board usually has tweaking options while the proprietary one has none.





Inspect the appearance of the faceplate. If it is chrome-plated metal that differs with the material of the case, you can usually pop it out and use it in the Antec case.





The Antec 900 has enough depth for extra long cards like the GTX260 (~10.5'; long).
