tibberous Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I have a motherboard that is 15 inches long, and have no idea what kind of case to buy for it. I think it might be eATX, but it seems like eATX stops at 13.5 inches. Does anyone know of a form factor that is 15 inches long? I got the server off of eBay.

jcombs_31 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 So you bought a server without a tower? Do you not even know the manufacturer of the board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stooney Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Home Depot + some free time and you have one that fits just fine. That's what I would do (in a non-professional setting, im the do-it-yourself type). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibberous Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 It's a 1U rackmount server, I'm colocating it off-site, so it needs to still be able to fit into the rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stooney Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Have u checked newegg.com? http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010090412+1055307968&Configurator=&Subcategory=412&description=&Ntk=&SpeTabStoreType=&Order=BESTMATCH&srchInDesc= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibberous Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thats where I bought my eATX case. I tried calling supermicro too, they said they think it is custom, which means that even if I get a case that's physically big enough, there is no guarantee that it's laid out right.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 The place to start is by looking at the motherboard and finding out the manufacturer and model number. That is the only way you will be able to identify the form factor and what case will work with it. Without the manufacturer and model number, it will not be possible for anyone in a forum to specifically help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
