I am looking for 2U server case for my SuperMicro X9SCM-F that has a depth constraint of ~55 cm or ~22 inches or less. There are plenty of such 2U cases out there with 65 cm depth & ATX & beyond mobo which I don't need that meet my wishlist features below.
Ideally the case should have following requirements:
- Micro-ATX mobo or larger but that generaly goes against the depth requirement.
- Standard ATX power supply. If quiet, 2U PS is an option I would be willing to compromise on as a last resort.
- support >= 6 hot-swapable 3.5" drive bays as I like RAID6 or actually a ZFS2 pool.
- support 2x2.5" drive for OS and mirroring.
- price not a big issue if I can only find such a case.
- <= 55cm or 22 depth which is really the criteria that defines the case.
I found the NORCO Norco RPC-230 which is not exactly (also ridicoulsy cheap) what I want but perhaps I can run RAID 5 while sticking 2 SSD for the Operating systems somewhere within the case.
Thanks,
Kurt
