Depends on the parts and the case. Most cases smaller than full ATX can't fit a huge card like the 5970 or 8800GTX Ultra. A thin case probably can't house large CPU coolers.

No they won't...

Full Tower's can hold anything...

Mid Tower's can hold most, but some might not be long enough for say a 5970 (longest card available at the moment)...

Mini/Micro Towers only hold mATX boards and are usually only able to hold low profile GPUs (if any at all)...

any mid tower case will fit any cpu/gpu and a few hdds some wont fit extra long gpus though. Unless you have a extra long gpu your old case should be fine and if the hdd cage doesn't go down to low pretty much any gpu will fit.
