Generally, motherboards that are sold separately are designed to a
specific "form factor":  AT, ATX, NTX.  Only an ATX motherboard will fit an
ATX case, for instance.
  The form factor specifies things like screw hole locations, so as long as
you match that you needn't worry.

  A few name brand manufacturers use proprietary case and motherboard
designs.  Their components are not widely avaialble separately, so unless
you have salvaged the case from an old machine, you probably don't need to
worry about those exceptions.
