  MOST PPro and PII motherboards are built to some variation of the
"ATX" form factor; you can also find Pentium motherboards like this,
so it doesn't really depend on the processor.

  An ATX case (and ATX power supply) is needed for an ATX
motherboard. Different ATX boards have different port arrangments,
and so your best bet might be to take the board to your case dealer
and look only at cases that will fit it.  [Some ATX cases use a
replacable panel to match different port layouts, but your dealer
might need to order a panel specifically to fit your board.]
