Hi community, I am trying to build a dual xeon 2650 workstation like unraid system with a couple of vm's. Found and bought a Super Micro board, what I failed to see I that it is a ee atx size board. This significantly lessens my options of building it into a workstation.'

Are there members who can help in finding a case wich is big enough. NOT racck mount, workstation.I do not mind a bit of tweaking to make it fit.

 

Hopefully people have done this.

Hi JeepeeMajoor

 

I know this is an old post, but maybe others in the future can use the info. You can use the Fractal Design Define XL R2. You have to drill some holes to secure the board. But it will fit. You can even have 140x25mm fans in the top, though you only have like ½mm between the fan and the EPS/ATX connectors. But it will fit! See the attached photo
