Use your current case for what? What build? I'm sure most cases will be fine, standard ATX case will be fine for standard ATX board. Layout and cooling varies between cases.

Check the sticky at the top for form factor info

Is the case a 'normal' pc tower size? Is it made by Dell?

it is a normal tower size and is not made by dell. I would like to use my current case for this:

AMD Opteron UP 144 San Diego 1.8GHz 1MB Cache (Socket 939)

Sapphire PURE Advantage CrossFire Radeon Xpress 200P CrossFire (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard

PowerColor ATI Radeon X1800 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)

Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940) (FG-000-AR)

G.Skill 2GB DDR HZ PC4000 (2x1GB) CAS3 Dual Channel Kit

I would personally not use that motherboard, the chipset is a bit iffy iirc.
