As Jay done pointed out, most DEC motherboards post-LX164 require 
custom case mounts and maybe even a custom power supply as well.

API Networks did make some ATX-form-factor boards for the EV6 
line though--the most renowned being the UP2000 (dual Slot B, 
six PCI, registered ECC PC100, onboard Adaptec SCSI).  It's an 
extremely demanding beast, though; most (cheap) ATX cases don't 
have the power capacity or the physical layout to handle it.  
Your best hope there is to get a pre-built system with a UP2000 
board, like an API PowerRAC 320.

There's also a UP1500 board--IIRC it's mini-ATX or micro-ATX, 
with DDR SDRAM slots, single EV6 processor, a few PCI slots, and 
an AGP slot.

Neither one is easy to get, though.  Your best bet would probably 
be to watch on eBay and be ready to shell out several hundred 
dollars when one appears.  ATM I'm unable to afford one. :-(
