As in title has any body fitted one of these to a non Supermicro Chassis? I already have my X10DRX is a Xigmatek Elysium and it has oodles of room but larger sized chassis seem to be increasingly hard to come by.
Someone mentioned the Phanteks Enthoo Pro which I know I can get here - I live in New Zealand, has anyone tried one of these boards in this or any other Chassis?
I tried it in the Corsair Obsidian 750D, while it fits it is not secure as the motherboard backplate does a 90 degree turn toward the right hand side leaving nowhere to place additional mounts and you can litteraly pull the top right of the board and make it twang back and forth in the case - not ideal.
What I need is quite simple, it needs to take the X9DR3-LN4F+ and have 3 5.25 inch external bays.
I have contacted the Supermicro dealer in New Zealand and they are out of stock of the appropriate chassis which used to sell for NZD $1200 which I was willing to pay - but they don't think they will be getting them back in stock ( usually down here they have to bulk buy to get a decent price ) ; but to get one through from the states would cost 749USD minimum for the case at least $500 NZD to get it shipped to NZ then add 15% for local taxes + customs fees of NZD 69.95 , biosecurity fee NZD 29.95 and 1% import duty because it would be over NZD total so I would be looking at would be around NZD 1990 or USD 1326.
I need an alternative I can source locally, even if I have to do some minor modifications to add mounts.
