It looks to have a none std system board most likely BTX instead of ATX. http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01883664/c01883664.pdf
That will make it difficult to find a case.

so i cant just move all the components to 2 normal tower case?

Nope, you will require a heavy amount of modding to make that board work.

But what CPU and Ram do you have?

Matx AMD boards are cheap..Maybe just buy a new Case and power Supply + Motherboard and reuse CPU,Ram, HD, DVD Drive?

its a athlon x2 b24 n the ram is ddr 3 1066 well can u recommend a good ATX board which will b a good all rounder board?

Any AM3 or AM3+ board should work, Asus and Gigabyte best reputation and Asrock great for budget.
