Will this server board fit an ATX case?

I'm looking at building a low cost but rather quick machine based on older server parts. I found this board, and it looks like it should fit the standard ATX stand off pattern. Anyone know if it will? Hacking the case apart is expected, but I'm unsure about the IO backplate and standoff positions.

It says that's its E-ATX sized on the post, so I would just double check the sizes will work as EATX is larger than ATX

Yeah, that's an EATX board, so maybe some ATX cases will be large enough that you could cram it in, but it wouldn't have enough standoffs for the outter edges even if it did fit and lots of ATX cases absolutely wouldn't fit it just due to size.  You'd want to invest in an EATX case.

I'll either make a case fit by removing the front drive bays, or fold one up at work from a sheet of aluminium :D
