Need Supermicro X9DRH-7F Extended ATX Desktop Case

[Bmore]

I am finally upgrading my home VM / Plex server from a AMD FX-8320 build to a dual Xeon E5-2660 build.

I have a X9DRH-7F Supermicro motherboard: Supermicro | Products | Motherboards | Xeon® Boards | X9DRH-7F

Trying to find a desktop case for it. Was looking at a Corsair Obsidian Series 750D but apparently the Supermicro Extended ATX form doesn't line up.

Any cases that will work? Need a quiet case with lots of 3.5 HDD bays.

I have fitted dual CPU x9 Supermicro MBs, e ATX sized, into Corsair 760D and also the Corsair 900D. Some of the holes don't line up but easy to drill those with a dremmel.

I could fit 12 3.5' drives into the 760D

But I like small cases!

2-3 holes or a lot more? Might just get one from Microcenter and see if the motherboard will fit.

Nice build. I didn't know Supermicro made desktop cases as well. Will have to do more research.

Yes, I think it was about 3 holes to gain necessary stability. I pretty much put the CPUs and the ram into the motherboard, and then fit the motherboard onto the case to prevent excessive flexion. If you have a large piece of card paper, draw an outline of the motherboard and its holes on it. Bring the paper to Microcenter and use it as a template,

Maybe interesting...

Fractal Design Define XL R2. I just love Fractal Design cases for workstations/gaming PCs. Super Quiet by default. Tonnes of room for expansion.

I would agree with the K D. I have Fractal Design Define XL USB 3.0 for my NAS, and it's plain wonderful. It's quite heavy though, with 7 spin-discs (and only a simple Xeon E3 with rather common cooler) it weights almost 25kg...
