If you aim to replace just the motherboard, I don’t think removing the hard drive from the case should be neccessary. The point of removing SATA cable from the motherboard still stands.

Generally a good article for a beginner. Very thorough. I personally do not remove the hard drives or cpu fans as it makes it both faster and easier to hold. Disconnect all the cables and graphics card then unscrew the motherboard screws and you are good to go!
