So Im upgrading my desktop to dual xeons and I need to find a new case that will fit with the motherboard. I suck at knowing whether something fits or not unless I just stick it in to find out. This is the motherboard I will be ordering: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KGXY0K/ref=gno_cart_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DERMy question is, will it fit in the NZXT Switch 810? And not just fit, but will the Cpu's have enough space, are the holes lined up right? and things like that. Thank you ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) And ifit doesnt fit, what case looks cool/stylish and could fit that motherboard? My second choice is Lian-Li PC-A76

My second choice is Lian-Li PC-A76 Rosewill Blackhawk EATX - have lots of room and good price. Will the motherboard with dual xeons fit? like the holes where the motherboard mounts and stuff That chassis will hold HPTX. If you remember EVGA SR-X or SR-2 Model is actually call Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra.

You may be better off buying a Mac Pro, new if money is no object, or older used one if it is. I have an old Mac Pro 1,1 (2006) with dual Quad core Xeons @ 2.66ghz and its easily the fastest machine I ever had, and I had a few. The later Mac Pro's have dual 6 core Xeons, but you need a lottery win first ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) edit: stay away from the 1,1 and 2,1 machines as the boot system (EFI) is 32 bit and they are not able to run the latest OSX. You are not limited to Mac operating system tho, Windoze or Linux work fine with these great machines

There's a way around anything... I'm running a Mac Pro 1,1 with the 2,1 firmware and the Chameleon hack to get disk based emulated 64bit EFI on Mountain Lion. Rock solid with no issues and much easier to do than most people think.

You are not limited to Mac operating system tho, Windoze or Linux work fine with these great machines Im more into building my own things, because I can already use some parts from the build I have now. I can still use my old power supply, ram, and case accessories. It would be cheaper building the a pc with the same specs as the mac. I just love the NZXT Switch 810 case even though its not the highest quality case.

Supermicro has a very nice selection of motherboards and cases in this market. (even 4way MBs).

Dual xeon will be in EATX size, which requires EATX supported case to follow up.
The being, good
I have checked some serious. If in Scrypt mining, it is pretty Good if proper configured in Linux as xeon works best in Linux or BSd

Intel provides server board for this, for example, 2600WR

Am I in the right forum!? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Mine primecoin when not using the pc...profit. I'm thinking all full tower cases should fit that board. You can look into the Silverstone FT-02 too, it's great.
