Penava

Hello,

Server motherboards don't really mix well with ATX cases. At best you're looking at completely modding the existing case to fit the motherboard.

That looks to me like a board from a rackmount server and those use pretty odd form factors (mostly proprietary)

I would just make a custom case for it, it will be tons more easier for it

Mobo looks really old, LGA775. This is for Pentium 4 or core 2 duo? Not worth the time at all.

You don't.

And why would you want to??

 

It's a totally proprietary board design, but it only has a shitty i945GC chipset wich only supports around 3GiB Memory (does NOT have memory remapping!)

So it's a rather shitty mainboard anyway...

 

Something similar should be obtainable on every corner - in µATX...
