Thanks for the advice @i386!
Actually, I already have an order with WiredZone for a full chassis that includes BPN-SAS3-846EL1-N8, i.e. Supermicro CSE-846BE1C8-R1K23B4, and I was told by them that Supermicro doesn't have the chassis nor the backplane in stock.
They currently don't have any ETA for it, and I was told by a WiredZone representative on the phone that fulfilling orders for Supermicro chassis has been very challenging lately, with some customers still waiting after an order placed about 6 months ago.

Quick update for anyone who might be looking for a Supermicro 846 chassis containing this exact backplane, BPN-SAS3-846EL1-N8, such as CSE-846BE1C8-R1K23B4.
I found a reference for this exact chassis on smicro.eu, and inquired about it. It looks like smicro.eu is closely linked with ANAFRA s.r.o., because I was very quickly contacted by their US Country manager, Nicolas Žitník. I was able to purchase this very hard to find chassis from ANAFRA, and I can't say enough good things about the great customer service I got from Nicolas.
If you're looking for this kind of hard to find chassis, I highly recommend checking out ANAFRA.
