If you have room for a physical fit, the chassis is likely E-ATX - no?
AFAIK most SSI EEB mbrds will fit E-ATX. You also need to check the power
supply - an SSI mbrd would likely need a EPS12V spec P/S. Check at
http://www.power-on.com/ for different pin arrangements - EPS12V has the
same 24-pin arrangement as ATX12V V2.0 apart from the -5V pin which is not
present on the latter. For slots I've no idea - certainly some will line
up but it's possible not all?? I'd think for external ports, the mbrd
would come with a replaceable I/O panel - all ATX ones do.

You can get detailed info on SSI here
http://www.ssiforum.org/default.aspx.
Bottom line: if that's an old ATX chassis with a 20-pin mbrd power
connector you'll have to replace the P/S.
