Hi Al,

Not having any details of the specs for the case, it is impossible for me 
to advise what motherboards may fit. Most cases and motherboards are fairly 
universal. You could take some dimensions of the mounting holes in your 
case, then go to the manufacturers website for a motherboard and see if you 
can find a diagram of the mounting holes. Most websites (Asus included) 
allow you to download the user and installation manauls for any of their 
products. I have put together dozens of computers and never had a problem 
with mounting holes.

Just make sure it supports your processor and memory. You also may want to 
make sure the power supply is adequate. A new case isn't all that expensive 
as another alternative (you can find some for under $40), just transfer 
over all your drives and stuff. Make sure you have standoffs for the MB 
mounting only where there are holes for them, so they don't short out.
