Hey
I got some leftover gear a few months ago. 2 x Xeon E5 2670 and 128GB of DDR3 ECC RDIMMs.
Figured I was gonna Upgrade my E3 1240 build With this. Ended up ordering the Supermicro X9DR7-TF+ brand New off Amazon for about 350 USD. From what I read this was supposed to be an E-ATX Board, but upon trying to fit the Board in my Define XL case, this was obviously bigger. Its EE-ATX at 13.68" x 13", so I needed to drill 7 extra holes into my case for it to fit, but in the end it did!
Reason for posting was the fact that the Define XL can fit EE-ATX if you do custom holes. I assume XL R2 should work just as well.
Specs:
CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5 2670
Motherboard: Supermicro X9DR7-TF+
Memory: 128GB DDR3 ECC RDIMM
RAID: IBM ServeRaid M1015 in IT mode
Case: Fractal Design Define XL (1st gen)
CPU coolers: Noctua NH-U12S
Case fans: Noctua A14 PWM
PSU: Seasonic X-760
HDD: 2X5TB, 2X4TB, 2x3TB. SSD datastores.
