No - the *existing* board is a cut-down ATX.  The new board is a
full-size one and simply won't fit in the case (by at least a couple of
inches).

I admit I didn't check.  I just thought, "Yes, it's an ATX board" and
went ahead and ordered one.

Never mind.  A problem is becoming an opportunity.  I like the look of
some of these cases I'm considering.
