[SOLVED] SuperMicro X8DTU-F motherboard compatible case

[vatex]

I've checked their platform to know form factor, but it's unknown: https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/QPI/5500/X8DTU-F.cfm
There are only dimensions of it: 12.075" x 13.05" (30.67cm x 33.15cm)
If someone knows which cheap case will fit, then please write in the discussion. I don't need some cool advanced case. I just need a cheap one, I think used one will be cheaper.

Form factor is proprietary.

Chassis that are supported are in your Supermicro link.

@Calvin7 I need similar to the standard PC case. Server cases are too expensive.

Not going to happen. It has to be made for server board, and it has to support the dimension.

And to get something that isn't proprietary will cost you a good amount of money and it won't be cheap.

Sorry.

Regular cases only support standardized form factors such as mATX, ATX, eATX, etc.

That fits E-ATX dimensions. However, your issue will not be a normal full tower being large enough to accommodate the board, your issue will be in that the i/o shield will be in the wrong placement for ATX cases, it needs a 1U placement.

It's possible a SSI EEB capable full tower will fit the mobo, but you might need to custom drill some new standoff mount holes.

This is as good as it gets

Case: Phanteks - Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case ($89.99 @ Newegg Business)

Trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, good luck.

Thanks guys for responses, I appreciate that and I am really thankful. Finally I decided to make simple case by myself.
