Chassis Form Factor: Pedestal?

[scottfree1_01]

Considering swapping my buggy Supermicro x8dtn+ for a Intel S5500HCVR. I was wondering if my Cooler Master HAF XB which will hold a 12"x13" mobo will have issues with the "Pedestal" form factor ??

Yes, it is wrong case. Pedestal is another word for tower.

Cooler Master HAF XB supports:
ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX

Intel Server Board S5500HCV is SSI EEB form factor (12" X 13")
SSI CEB motherboards have the same mounting holes and the same IO connector area as ATX motherboards, but SSI EEB motherboards do not.

It looks like if you're determined enough it can be done..
