I recently acquired an Intel® Server Board S2600GZ and was looking into my options for creating a server using it. However, finding a server chassis for its custom 16.5 x 16.5 board form factor has proven to be quite difficult (unless I pay thousands for a prebuilt server). Does anyone have any idea of a chassis that could work for this huge mobo? Alternatively, is using a large case with some modification an option? This would be a side project for me so it could be a little janky.

Yes you understand correctly. They used to make plastic standoffs that had a flat base that were self adhered but I haven't seen those in a a decade or two. LoL

Should fit into most u-formfactor cases just keep in mind the power supply should be in the back right of the case and you should avoid short cases.
I have the Rosewill R4000 I believe that would work fine if you don't mind the lack of hot swap drive bays. You may have to modify the location of the motherboard standoffs though since you have an OEM board and they like to make it hard for you to do things like this.
