[SOLVED] Server case

[SwetishBus0964]

I'm looking for a case for a server motherboard I just purchased. I cant seem to find many out there that arent terribly expensive. The motherboard is a C1100 series intel dual Socket lga 1366 server motherboard 9D1CD. I cant find much information on its form factor. The case also needs to fit 2 cpu coolers that are about 6 inches tall. Anyone have any recommendations or a good place to find cases that are less than like $60 for this mobo?

More than likely, that's a proprietary motherboard that only fits the original Dell C1100 case. You might want to look up the specs of an E-ATX motherboard to see if the tray mounts match, but I don't think so (I could be wrong).

Alrighty. I'll do that and measure up against the motherboard I have

Even if I cant find an exact fit, I could always drill some holes.

You could try and make a custom motherboard tray. I would not recommend drilling holes in the motherboard.

As long as the backplate fits, can drill custom standoffs holes.

One of my since retired boxes I fitted a mATX mobo into a Mac G4 enclosure. Got tools, no prob.

Haha I meant holes in the case

I'll see what I can find. Thanks for all the input guys!

Just making sure. It's been done to a motherboard before. 😆
