Would I be able to fit a 1u server motherboard into a tower case? If I can, which case would be recommended?

Are the mounts aligned for the server mobo to fit in the EATX case, I highly doubt so. you may need to compare the case, dimensions and where the standoffs are for the mobo as well as if the screws for the mobo will even screw into the standoffs.

Some considerations

The motherboard i/o shield wont conform to your case
Power supply won't conform to your case
Screw holes won't match up
The power switch is most likely some proprietary solution

If your willing to modify the screw holes, put new tin on the back of case, cut out a space for the new i/o and power supply and find a way to mount the power supply it could be possible. You'd need to be comfortable with welding and metal work. Make up a arduino to turn on the pc.
