SSI-EEB Case

[Colonal-Kohler]

I am building a server with dual 6 core hyper-threaded xeons. I have the main components, but need a case to fit and SSI-EEB motherbaord, cheapest thing I can find on any website is a Phanteks Enthoo Pro for $89.99. That's a bit more than I was trying to spend, anybody know any place I could possibly find a cheap compatible case?

considering the odd form factor of dual cpu motherboards, no

If you're building a server where the cost of the processors alone cost more than most people's rigs, I don't think you should be concerned about skimping on the case.

You say that but SB-E xeons are dirt cheap (5-25 each) so that isn't nessicarily accurate. If he managed to get his hands on an SSIEEB mobo for cheap then it could be a quite low cost build.

Your best bet is an old  rackmount server honestly...
