Dear All, I would like to ask, which Chassis is suitable for Supermicro X8DAH+?

I recently bought the motherboard and icute super A18-5G which is suitable for E-ATX, however, the motherboard have an extra ~5cm, extended from the control panel connectors/IO ports. See here

http://www.supermicro.com/products [...] X8DAH+.cfm

as a result, I couldn't fit into the chassis i bought.

I guess typical motherboard would have control panel connectors/IO ports right at the end of the board. See here

http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=JoOxbkv8HgVqHLrz

http://www.tyan.com/product_board_detail.aspx?pid=644

The supermicro chassis appear to be be very expensive and that's is why I am looking for alternative.

Hope to hear from you! Thank you!

If you still have the supermicro x8DAH board, CableMart has a Sunnytech CSPIC4UB server chasis for $48.10 shipped which includes 300w power supply. It's listed in pricewatch. Just do a search using "server chasis".

I looked around, and most cases I thought would work either supported the height of your board or the width, not both. I did however find a PC case that's big enough, if you're willing to bend a few tabs out of the way, it's the Cooler Master HAF 932:

Notice that's a full-ATX motherboard installed, and there's an additional row of mounting holes (eATX) around 3 inches in front of it. As for the height issue, there are a couple support brackets for a second power supply at the top that you'd need to bend out of the way or remove, but that does give you the added height.

I think he's looking for a pedistal case, and I find it unlikely the 4U rackmount you pointed to would have the space he needs.

The word 'server' or "industrial PC" isn't enough, as none of the sub-$300 pedistal server cases at newegg had the required space.
