yes, you can fit many boards ,it depends on its size, you have to replace the back IO cover ,so that new board fill fit.But you have to remove IO external plastic cover if present,plz post your mobo photo,IO photo for exact reply !

do the mobos come packed with ip/op cover ? are thesecovers replacable in cases ?

^^ yes new mobos will have I/O cover so replace the old I/O covers as the placement of various ports is different for different mobos

Its very difficult to find motherboards suited for compaq pc,problem is processor HSF is mounted to the cabinet itself.You may ended up buying a new cabinet and HSF.
