I'm looking for a small case, that can still handle some hardware and found this: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/anidees-ai-07bw-atx-cube-black-window-ca-024-ad.html
But since I'm working with the X99 platform, so would it be nice to be able to get an E-ATX motherboard into it.
As far as I can tell, so is the only thing that will happen, is that a little part of the motherboard will be outside the tray.

The motherboard I'm looking at is MSI X99A GODLIKE: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7271/msi-x99a-godlike-gaming-intel-x99-motherboard-review/index.html
That one water cooled with 3 way SLI, will be tight, even with the radiator external.

I speak my mind, sorry if thats a problem.

it only mentions ATX as the largest size supported, but i guess it depends on how much bigger the X99 board is to the supported mobo size

It really depends. A lot of eatx boards will technically fit in atx chassis but leave little to no room at the bottom of the board or cover cable management holes being most eatx boards are wider and longer than atx. I can't say for sure but looking at the position of the standoffs the board appears as though it would fit but would probably cover the cable management grommets on right side of the board.

The board is listed as 12 in. x 10.7 in. (30.5 cm x 27.2 cm), so its just a bit wider then a normal ATX board.
