I have an HP Pavilion a1110n. I just came from the HP website to see if the motherboard is an ATX or microATX form factor and none of the downloadable PDF files say. I don't know what specifics make a motherboard an ATX, mATX, etc. If it's number of expansion slots, I have three regular PCI slots. I bought the Pavilion back in 2005 if I remember correctly, so maybe that will also help determine it. Or if I measured the length and width, would that tell me? This PC has been very good to me. Despite the fact that I just bought my first barebone kit and am waiting for the processor to arrive in the mail, I want to keep the Pavilion until it's no good anymore. The power supply finally gave out...at least the fan inside did, so I bought a Diablotek 500w PSU. It fit inside, but there are so may cables, mainly SATA power cables and two IDE cables and one floppy that even zip-tying everything still gets the cables much too close to the CPU fan.
If there's a way to figure out the motherboard form factor, please let me know. And then I'll just buy a cheap case from Tigerdirect or Newegg. Thanks!!
