What are the dimensions of the Apple //e Motherboard?

I'm new around these parts, so why no start with an odd question? I've got a crazy idea but I need to know if the //e mobo will fit.  I figure a bunch of you probably have nekkid motherboards around and could dash off two measurments for me.  So would you kindly?

 

TIA.

Thank you kind sir!  It will be tight, but I think it will fit.

It shows the dimensions to be 246.38mm x 300.35mm (aka 9.7" x 11.82")

That is the early NTSC board. The PAL and the international NTSC (platinum) are smaller.

The old NTSC board has the Aux slot near the left edge of the board, the smaller international and PAL boards have it in line with slot 3 so they are easy to tell apart.
