Rosewill Rackmount .. no.. no. That's not a real server chassis it's a home-version of a real server chassis.
Do I have experience with them, yes I have 3 various model Rosewill 4U and I don't use them beyond basic storage because they're basically a home variant of a real server chassis
that still come with minimal air flow even with better 120 home-style fans.
You do NOT need a rack. You can sit it on a desk, on wood raised off the floor (just no carpet if low), etc...
Your motherboard is only E-ATX nothing special-size or anything like that so you can fit it in many chassis.
I would buy the one SuperMicro suggests for that motherboard and they even sell it as a kit. It's also a 4U \ Workstation hybrid.
You get power supplies made for your motherboard, airflow made for it, etc, etc...
" 3x Middle 8cm (9400 rpm) PWM Fans & 2x 8cm (9400 rpm) PWM Fans "
If you're running this beast at near full utilization it's going to be LOUD.
I'll also be the person who says for such a badass build I would have run 1.5TB Intel Optane Drives, they're PCIE already no adapter needed, won't throttle like m.2 unless you need the space you have from the 3 decent drives you could run 2x 1.5TB 905P Optane and absolutely smoke the performance of your other drives.
