If it's only temporary, fit it in a regular ATX case. As per
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-ITX :

"The four mounting holes in a mini-ITX board line up with four of the
holes in ATX-specification motherboards, and the locations of the
backplate and expansion slot are the same (though one of the holes
used was optional in earlier versions of the ATX spec). Mini-ITX
boards can therefore often be used in cases designed for ATX,
micro-ATX and other ATX variants if desired."
