I'm looking for a case that will support a dual cpu motherboard such as http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BG-730-AS

Although a fair few cases listed on the site do support the EEB Form Factor
12 inch x 13 inch ( 30.5 cm x 33.02 cm )

I'm struggling to figure out which case has space on the motherboard tray to support dual cpu's, as it looks as if they only have the cut-away for 1 cpu.

I currently have a coolermaster storm, which is huge, however doesn't appear to be huge enough, from reading specs.. - I wouldn't be upset if I could keep using it.

Any ideas or suggestions. :)

best case for eeb board

Hi,

I had the same issue as I bought an eeb motherboard (twin xeon, twin h80 coolers and multiple disks in raid 5.

I started with the assumption that eeb was the same size as e-atx - it is not! The length and width may be the same but the eeb has the outputs on the short side.

I tried the eeb card in an eatx case and it did not fit.

I then used a cosmos II which, although massive, was poorly laid out for an eeb board.

finally i have my eeb board fitted nicely in a phanteks ph-es614p enthoo pro. it is snug, but fits better than it did in the cosmos, even with the dual radiators.

so, unless you have > 6 hdds or large radiators, I would recommend the phanteks.

n.b. the enthoo was missing one of the eeb standoffs, but it is not in a critical area (imho).
