Looking for a good quality server chassis; probably 2U or 3U

I am doing a new server build; it will have a Supermicro MBD-H11SSL-NC-B H11 motherboard (ATX formfactor) and I am using 41tb ssds in raid (LSI MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i), and then a small ssd for ESXI to run on. So it will need at least 5 drive bays. I currently have a 4U chassis for another server I am using and its just so chunky. I was looking for a 2U or 3U case; and would prefer it to be 'deep'. Was just wondering if anyone knows any good ones?

 

Thanks in advance! :D

100$, ATX, however the expansion slots are sideways(??)

haha, yeah that was a typo; the board is ATX; https://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/EPYC7000/H11SSL-NC.cfm official info of the board.

Yeah.. the Pcie slots are sideways which would require pcie extension, hmm.. Nice case though! Thanks for the info.

 

And I haven't purchased a psu yet; I will once I find the case

I am looking for a case without sas ports in the front; I don't need hotswap and I am using a pcie raid controller so drives will be internal :D

Hi, you can use SSD drives in SAS ports, but you can use your own RAID controller and not have to bother with the Dell
