In short, no. This motherboard is a proprietary design by Dell and is meant for just their cases. These motherboards do not follow the standard ATX form factor (to include mATX and mini ITX). Pretty much any third-party case you buy from, say, Phanteks, Corsair, NZXT, etc, will not support that motherboard natively.

You could, however, transfer that motherboard to another Dell case of the same model. So if you have dead Dell Optiplex 990 SFF you could install another motherboard from another Dell Optiplex 990 SFF.
