Chassis is an automotive term.  The computer building one is “case” in this instance I think.  
 

motherboards have several form factors and yours is not defined which makes it hard.  The biggest one is eATX.  Below that there is ATX, mini(micro)ATX, and ITX.  Smaller boards will fit in bigger cases.

 

the noctua dh15 is a big girl cooler though.  It’s 165mm “tall” (which usually means wide because most cases are designed to be set sideways)  It’s one of the largest air coolers that exists.  this means that the case will need to be thick.  As a general rule any case with a 140mm rear fan will hold a dh15, but this is not universal.

 

if it turns out you have an ITX motherboard and want to use an ITX case, such a case would be nearly cubical.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

ATX

That means you want an ATX case with at least 165mm of width above the motherboard for a cooler.  So a fairly wide one.  In the case of atx cases the 140mm back fan is a pretty good predictor of whether there will be enough room.  It’s still not universal.  Any cas should have its width specs listed.  PcPartPicker, and Newegg both like to list such things.  Doesn’t mean you have to actually buy the case from them.  A case of a given make and model will have a standard dimension, usually.
