using an old dell case

i just bought an old p II dell cpu for 10 bucks. does anyone know what size MB i need for it.
i just thought i could save some money on the case instead of buying one. Am i going to run into any problems using this case? any help would be appreciated.

Here is a link to the service manual: http://support.dell.com/support/edoc...x/54635a02.pdf The motherboard appears to be standard ATX, but it doesn't mention that explicitly. You may want to compare the mounting holes to your motherboard to see if they match.
