On some of the cases I've purchased the panel to which the motherboard
is attached has holes with letter/number markings.  Somewhere along one
edge of that panel is a legend for the type of motherboard that will fit
the holes.  Generic cases often have holes that will line up with more
than one type of motherboard.
