Afternoon all, I did post something similar in the cases forum but it is rarely populated.

I have an Asus Rampage IV Extreme & 3930k and I didn't realise years ago when I bought it that it was E-ATX. Luckily my case worked fine, however it is not compatible with newer graphics cards (390x).

I am struggling to find cases that will fit an E-ATX motherboard

I've been looking at the Corsair 400c and 600c but the dimensions listed show 12.7 x 10.6 whereas my motherboard is listed as 12.7 x 10.7 (no idea if this is right either, not been easy to find!)

Any suggestions?
 
The Enthoo Pro is great - I've got the one in titanium green with window. The build quality is very good and it's the first case I've owned that doesn't seem to have any sharp edges. The green colour is a refreshing change from black/white/silver (for me at least).

If you've got the space, I'd get the Luxe. I got the Pro because I didn't have enough space at the time.
 
Was thinking of putting one of my old systems, which is geared around a Rampage IV, in a Phanteks Evolv, as I recently put together a Skylake build with one and have found it an excellent case.
But I have seen elsewhere that it is a very, very tight fit with the Rampage's E-ATX size as it's beyond the width specified for the case.
 
EATX fits fine, plenty have fitted them, including myself.

Oh...I've no doubt it fits, just that it's a little tight, especially around what SATA ports (or more specifically, cables) you use, at least the info that's out there.
To be fair to Phanteks, they're quite specific about the 'max' EATX size supported.

MSI X99 ACK board (Rampage is few mm bigger by accounts, so the angled grommets may need to go).

Yes, I had to feed the 24 pin in through the H/Drive cover with the EVGA X99 Classifed
Right angled socket.

Sata were fine.
