Kevin,

The problem that I can see is that, with the riser, the motherboard will sit
farther away from the openings for the various cards that you plug in.  This
means that, with a regular motherboard that has the ISA and PCI slots on the
actual board, the cards might not reach the  plug-in slots and still be all
the way in the case.  You might either have to find a way to move the
motherboard closer inside the case or just buy another case.

Good luck with your upgrade.  Hope that this helps.
