I am running a project where we need to run a XEON E5-2699 v3 inside the smallest possible case. I have already researched and found the ASRock X99E-ITX/ac as the best (only?) choice for the motherboard. The motherboard comes with a low profile cooling "block" but we would prefer to run with water cooling (unless there are other suggestions) in order to keep the noise down.
The ASRock X99E-ITX/ac also comes with a water cooling adapter which is matched to Cooler Master's Seidon 120V Plus so this is probably the logical choice for cooling.
We don't need a graphics card so the PCIe slots will be left vacant.
I have found a mountain of cases that will do the job but ALL of them have large spaces allocated for Graphics cards which we don't need.
Any suggestions/recommendations for the smallest possible Mini-ITX case to match these requirements would be most welcome.
