Is it possible (at least practically) to take the motherboard out of a computer made by a big company (HP, Dell, etc) and transfer that into a custom case without any major difficulty? What would be involved in doing that? Are there only certain size cases that would work, and would there need to be anything that goes inside the case to remount a motherboard and whatnot?

I thought about moving it to another case so I could maybe get one with more fans slots so I wouldn't have to do any modifications myself.
im sure you could pull it off just make sure you get an "atx" form case...the only trouble …
