Looking for quiet case for an older server board

I got my hands on an older Intel Server (dual Xeons)  in a slim, rack-case.

It still runs really well, but is unbearibly loud. I'm looking for a way, to migrate the board to a quiet desktop-case, but can't figure out, which cases will support the custom formfactor.

Can anybody help?

 

The board is an Intel Server Board S5400SF

 

Thx

As far as I remember, the board had similar dimensions to E-ATX spec, however I don't know whether they have the same mounting hole layout... I'd assume that any E-ATX case could be modded to fit one of these.

modding = drilling holes for the stand-off-screws?
