I'd put this old motherboard in that old P.B. case in a heartbeat
if I wouldn't end up looking like a hemophiliac in a razor blade
factory swapping out stuff from the newer low profile Packard Bell
case :-(

Everything lines up except the riser card from the low profile 
case but since BOTH riser cards match at the motherboard
differing only in height and BOTH plug into the motherboard...

Just puttng stuff into the low profile case and not messing
with the motherboard  I got near a dozen cuts on my
hands.
