Case for supermicro board.

[Jinxi_]

Hello, I ordered two xeons E5 2670 on ebay. Now I am looking for a socket 2011 board and I found a nice deal for this board
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9DRG-QF.cfm
for 300 euros. But I can't find a case to fit this board.
Can some one helps me out?
Thank you in advance.

It looks like ATX size but may not be, if not you need to find yourself an E-ATX case, which are usually server cases such as:

That case costs over 1000 euros. I am looking for an affordable case.

It was just an example so you can see the EATX size.

This likely if available near you would be a better price:

I don't think the board will fit in that case. This board is huge. Please have a look at the measurements.

I did, the board is EATX and the case specifies EATX as well. The height measurements of this case are similar to the expensive Supermicro one I linked (the supermicro is just deeper for all the drive cages).

The page says:
Form Factor Proprietary

Where do you read the board is EATX? I looked at wikipedia and the size of this board is much larger than EATX.

You're correct, I looked back at the tabs I was looking through to find this for you and I must have gotten my boards crossed up.

The problem for you is you need a large server case to fit this, of which because its proprietary you are VERY limited. The actual board measurment is 15.2" x 13.2" the problem is even the case I linked in that extra space is the PSU, where the Supermicro case the PSU is elsewhere.

If you don't want to spend that kind of money (obviously) you may need to figure out a different solution using a case like the Phanteks. Companies just don't make aftermarket cases for proprietary server boards, its not worth it.

I unselected my answer in case someone knows any better but I doubt it. You may need to consider the modifying a case route.
