The fact that Gateway sold you the previous box it probably the source
of possible problems. I'd do some Googling to see if the case/mobo that
you currently have use standard mounting holes. Dell is infamous for
using all manner of non-standard cases, but I don't know much of
Gateway; I've only been in contact with one Gateway case and that was ~6
years ago (FWIW, it seemed to be a standard ATX tower).
