Fitting a full size graphics card and watercooling into a 2u chassis

so i need a 2u server chassis with a full size pci slot, like this case

 

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811165589&cm_re=server_cahse-_-11-165-589-_-Product

 

however, i  would like the whole thing water cooled so plan on using a 5.25 in reservoir like these,

The iStarUSA E-204L has four 5.25" and two 3.5" bays at a 2U form factor. EDIT: NVM no full slot.

quote from the product page

(NO Power Supply,No Rai,No System and Case Only)

also they forgot the "l" for rail

also the MB is for a 775 intel CPU (from what i can tell, the images aren't high quality) that will also limit your CPU selection

also the MB has support for IDE, not even used on OEM systems anymore, let alone servers!

not to rude but this case and MB combo is horrible as it's extremely old and very limited for GPU workload as GPU's befit from multiple express lanes and the 775 socket doesn't have many by today standards and will impact performance quite a bit when using even a older GPU like a 700 series nvidia GPU

That is just a stock photo. Neither listing on Amazon or the page on the manufacturer website include any motherboard.

 

On that note the OP will need to get an optional riser card accessory to fit his/her graphics card. The problem is finding a 2U case with everything that is being asked for. They just don't seem to be that common in the requested configuration.
