Looking for a server case

[lacion]

im looking for a server case that i could put into a communications rack where all my networking equipment is. i did a bit of a search but it looks like most server running ebay are just old server cases mostly super micro but i dont have enough knowledge of them to know if i could use them, not sure if they will fit a EATX mobo or if i need to use the server mobos in there to use the hard drives control planes, any guidance here would be appreciated.

 

i would like to reuse all the components i already have.

 

EATX mobo

ATX PSU

10 iron wolf hard drives (maybe a bit of room to expand)

2 nvidia 1660

 

 

would be nice if i could avoid breaking the bank on the case.

Could try searching for rack mounted pc casing and go from there.  You'd probably need at least a 2U-3U chassis to fit all your 10 drives comfortably however.  Actually, you definitely need more than that to for the height of the 1660.

will start looking for that, 4u is definitely not an issue i have room for at least 2 4u units.

 

thanks for the pointer.
