Taking parts out of a Steam Machine

can you take the cpu gpu and ram out of an alienware steam machine, put them in a new mobo and use it with a regular hard drive as a windows pc?

Yep. Assuming the motherboard supports it. Steam machine is one of those things that failed. It's just another computer.

Can't see why not. Any reason not to just reformat the existing machine as a Windows machine?

wasn't sure if it was 100% possible

It's just hardware. The only difference is that the Steam Machine can with a different OS.
