I have a prebuilt HP computer that came with Vista home Premium installed. The airflow in the case isn't what I want it to be, but I like everything else. I'm thinking about moving the whole nine yards to a bigger case with room for a couple more fans. I'd like to avoid the expense of buying an operating system I already have, tho. If I reuse the same motherboard, won't I be OK from a licensing standpoint?

Changing the case won't affect *anything*. You won't have to reinstall Windows or worry about buying a new operating system. That said, HP makes weird cases so make sure that the innards will fit properly into the new case.
