Proper cases can be hard to come up with (new they are rather expensive), e.g. I can't do anything with a 85 cm deep pizza box in my rack (because that pizza box is like 15 cm longer than the whole thing), so I needed a bit more special case, which has space for a standard 2S board but is short as well. Only Supermicro had one of those.

Yeah, this is another problem that I had. Plenty of full-tower cases these days support EATX, but SSI-EEB not so much (at least, the ones that can support it out-of-the-box).

In the end, I went with one of the Phanteks Enthoo [1] cases. Decent quality without breaking the bank :)

I used an 825MTQ, which is the 2nd shortest server in my rack now :)
