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. Edward R.
