Upgrading Insides, But What About The Case?

So my Dad's 12-year-old dinosaur (yes, 12 YEARS OLD, and the power supply by PC Power&Cooling lasted all the way up until now) is finally going out the door, and for his purposes (just video streaming, word processing, video chatting from home since he's working more from there) he doesn't need more than 8 GB of RAM, 2 SATA 6 channels, doesn't even need a dedicated GPU by my reckoning since Intel's HD graphics can handle non-gaming and non-rendering workloads on its own.

Essentially, I've constructed this blueprint for him (we like our water cooling and the silence it brings). http://pcpartpicker.com/user/patrickjp93/saved/gGFXsY

But his old Lian Li G70b case is in perfectly fine condition to house the next build. My problem is the lack of information on the web about motherboard size compatibility. A number of cases on Newegg listed as just e-atx actually support a number of smaller sizes if you dig on the vendor's website. My problem: Lian Li discontinued this chassis and the info on it.

Does the Lian Li PC g70b support micro-atx boards? I'd like to avoid any extra dollars spent on a new board or case, but I can get him a larger board if absolutely necessary.

Are you speaking from experience or a more technical site, or just what you've seen on Newegg and Amazon? I've found errors/missing info on the market sites a number of times when case hunting.
