Going back some I know.

I'm rebuilding my DOS PC and need to find a case that supports a Slot 1/Socket 370 Motherboard, most "look" ATX format just a lot different to current ones, and assuming the standoffs would accept any size correct?

I've probably messed up the sockets/slots but it's late and I'm ill..

Just double check its ATX (google model no. of mobo) then any ATX case will fit, you will just have to move the standoffs about to suit

The old P2/P3 stuff is very much standard aTX or mATX. Any case thats on the market now will fit. I had a Socket 370 motherboard in a Bit Fenix ATX case and it went in with no problems at all :)

Although ATX was probably most common some slot 1 motherboard did still use the older baby at format. So make sure you give these a miss.

They're fairly easy to spot since the only external connector mounted to the motherboard will be the keyboard connector. Everything else will use little breakout plates that you have to mount to the case.
