The SFF aurora r8/9 case does not support a 12" motherboard.

Also, swapping out the mobo requires taking a saw and cutting out the metal io shield, which is a part of the case and specific to dells z370 mobo. Also, it would require rewiring the proprietary cable for the led and power on button.

Realistically though, the aurora case would not support a cpu cooler capable of sufficiently cooling a 3rd gen TR.
