Can you mount a EEB size motherboard in a mid tower case with zero mods?

Well yes you can.;)

Rosewill makes this one that I bought two on sell from Newegg about two years ago at less than $40.00 each.

Its limited to three hard drives and two SSD's and a EVGA 1000 watt power supply is a real tight fit so I went with a 750 watt version since its about an inch shorter.

Not gonna have any 'sauce' due to the nature/industry and environment I work in but I have had some recent pleasure/pain working on some Atos BullSequana S800 nodes monster x86 proprietary interconnect servers for SAP HANA internal ERP system/s.

Total juice per S800 system equates to 448 cores of Intel Scalable gen 2 8276M procs, 12TB memory (6TB DDR4 DRAM/6TB NVDIMM's), 12 ports of 32Gbps FC HBA's, and 12 ports of 40GbE Ethernet.

4 of these systems, $100K per node, $400K each S800 frame, totaling $1.6M across four frames...not my $$$ but I do enjoy spending it! HA

Not exactly pron, but hey with how cheap high-cap sas/nvme 2.5 ssds are going, I thought I'd flesh out one of the servers so I can fill her up good and proper as and when the drive deals land... ;)

this will be a closer comparison -- max static pressure of 15mm, vs 10.5mm for the 3000rpm 140mm noctua.

9x noctua:
max airflow 2400 m^3/h at zero pressure
6.6w x 9 = 60w total
IP52 protection

$27*9 = $243 (newegg)

VA18-AP10/C-41A * 16"S/12V:
max airflow 2200 m^3/h at zero pressure
minimum power draw 7.5a @ 12v (90w)
maximum power draw 8.5a @ 12v (102w)
IP68 motor

$95 (manufacturer website)

So ballpark pretty similar. A bit better pressure, which may be desireable. Better waterproofing, which may be necessary for outdoor applications. Easier to manage 1 fan vs 9. Cheaper. Uses a bit more power (but not an unreasonable amount)

Sure, but how loud?

Anyone want to run the roi numbers on that 4.5pb? I just don't see how this isn't just a huge waste of money and resources.

Chia In 2023? What a waste of electricity and SSDs. Now, Storj is an entirely different subject.
