If nothing else, open the case and measure the motherboard height and width.
Do you a series of long PCI slots, perhaps as many as 7?
You need to find out if that case will accept an ATX motherboard.
If not, a chainsaw won't help you.
You could just assemble it on a piece of plywood if that is your inclination.
I'm assuming you don't have your original purchase receipt or documents.

K I took apart the computer and measured the motherboard and i'd say it's about 9.5 to 10 inches on both sides

If the motherboard is square, as yours is, it is NOT an ATX motherboard. ATX is closer to 13 by 10, taller than it is wide.
It is possible, but unlikely, that your case will take an ATX motherboard. No one can tell unless we know your exact HP model number or have an interior picture of the case or something like that.
9.5 or 10 inches square is mATX (micro ATX) size. If you want a new motherboard, you should probably be shopping for micro ATX.
But as Bobkn said, HP cases might be a bit peculiar and not be compatible with a replacement motherboard, even if it is micro ATX.

The model listed definitely uses a mircroATX motherboard. The case is classified as a mid ATX, but looking inside, it doesn't look like an ATX motherboard will fit.
