The thing about a P4 case from what I understand is it not only has the correct connectors for the power supply but also makes provision for a sturdier heatsing mount. It has extra standoffs in the area of the CPU that let's you screw the retention mechanism down...

Not all boards require the HS mount. And I don't believe that ANY of the S478 boards require it.
