For normal mobos they come with

a matching back panel, hopefully the giver can also give you that. They just snap in and out. HOWEVER there is also the physical size of the ATX mobo, will it even fit into the case??? Are the mounting holes for the extra size???

What aspects of the new mobo are you interested in? You can get new cases relatively inexpensively.
