I have game hosting operation I'm setting up and am building a machine to host games that complies to my landlords rules about noise and crap. So my issue at the moment is motherboards. I found one I like but don't know if it will work with my chassis.


Logisys atx 4u case

This is my chassis http://

This is the board

Lenovo ThinkStation D20 C20 C20X System Board 71Y8826 Dual LGA1366 w/ XEON E5607

http://


Will this fit the case??

Does it work with standard front panel I/o header??

Will it work with my atx Evga 500b psu??

that case can handle

"ATX mobos (up to 12.0 x 13.0 inch)"


so you need to make sure that mobo is not extended ATX


looking at that mobo, it looks like it has standard 24-pin layout so a standard psu will work




that mobo has both a 4-pin cpu and 10-pin cpu connection, I am not sure how that would work with your current power supply if you want to use both cpu slots



you will need to get a power supply with dual 8-pin cpu connectors and use an adapter on the 10-pin I think

It looks like it might be atx

If not I'll adjust my plans accordingly

Also I am just gonna get a new psu all together I'm going with a thinkstation c20 psu cause that's what matches the board


Is the front I/o header standard or is specialized for Lenovo only??
