Mobo to Case Compatibility

Have a GW9310X Case and want to know if an ASUS P5LD2 ATX mobo will fit this case?

The case you specified does not exist on google so I don't know what it is, can you be more specific as in brand or possibly a picture?

I doubt very seriously that you'll be able to put a standard MB in that pc.
Is this the unit?
Gateway 9310X Scroll down for the picture.
GATEWAY 9310X P4 3.2GHZ 1GB INTEL 915 CHIPSET BAREBONE! | eBay

The Ebay ad says it's a barebones, but my money says you'll need a Gateway MB for it.

that is more than likely a BTX or mBTX case. You will not be able to use that board.

That is a reversed BTX motherboard, I have a few of those machines laying around in the back of my shop, when I get one in, I convince the folks to let me build them a new quality machine, no sense in blowing money on it.

Only place I could get motherboards for them on ebay and buying from ebay is a huge gamble.

Thanks all. Sorry I didn't post a link to Case Img. Khall where is you shop, TX? Wld take my old boxes to you, hate throwing them away but i have no space. Its a shame bc i like this case but seems i will wind up scavenging out its drives, ram, video crd, Antec EarthWatts EA380 PSU etc. For some reason, I suspect some electrical short this Gateway goes thru hdds. So I wanted to swap out the mobo with the one from my Cool Master turn the Cool Master into server with new mobo + cpu and use rebuilt Gateway Desktop with hot swap docks so I could run both winXP on one Hdd and Linux on another hdd without have to dual boot.
