The following site may be useful in helping you work out which form factor
the board is by the dimensions thereof.

http://www.motherboards.org/formfactor.html

I'm not very clued up as far as motherboards etc, go but I'd measure it to
determine it's type.
Also I think AT boards have a different keyboard or mouse socket - the
bigger round one not the PS/2 type.
I might be wrong here though.
The following page has a section devoted to ways of identifying your
motherboard.

Hope this helps.

Darren.
