Lay the open chassis on its side. The main plate of the chassis with the screw holes should be facing up as you look in. The screw holes on the motherboard should match up with the screw holes on the main plate. If you have the motherboard lay it in there gently to see if the holes are going to match. If not take note of the dimensions of the mobo, then measure your case.
Alittle advice, it's best to attach the processor and heatsink/fan to the motherboard before you put it into the case.

Hope this helped :)

a micro atx motherboard is the same form factor as a regular atx motherboard except it usually only has 3 pci slots, and measures 9x9 rather than say 9x12 (approx inches)

a micro atx motherboard should work in just about any case on the market.
