Oh, right, in my haste I forgot that you can simply re-use an old case -_-;

I should add that the Atom boards are based on the mini-ITX form factor (17x17cm) though. Most normal-sized cases are meant for micro-ATX boards or larger, so you will likely have to drill some additional mounting holes to mount a mini-ITX board in there. But that's certainly far less work than making your own case, haha.

I'd be inclined to say that the opposite is true, particularly if your case is from a mass-market PC manufacturer.  Unless you get a case that's designed for system builders, it is unlikely that it follows any sort of standard, and the holes on your new mobo won't match up with it.
