Coolermaster Stacker 830 chassis & dual Xeon mobos

[qu0ll]

Please forgive the cross post as I am not sure where to best post this
question and I am desperate for an answer.

Does anyone know for sure whether the Coolermaster Stacker 830 chassis will
work with a dual Xeon motherboard? I know that it can handle the /size/ of
the motherboard (i.e. E-ATX) but in order to support dual Xeons there must
be drill holes in the chassis in the correct places to house the CPU
heatsinks. I have sent several emails to Coolermaster and they simply do
not reply. I have googled and not found anything conclusive. What I am
hoping is that someone out there has used the CM Stacker 830 for a dual Xeon
motherboard and can confirm that the two are compatible.

Any takers?

Does it really matter? If the case has enough merit to
choose it, drilling some holes and putting in standoffs (and
not, or removing those in the unneeded positions) is fairly
trivial.

If you lack the ability or tools to tap out the holes for
the standoff threads (or the metal is too thin, which is
often the case because they typically pressindent the metal
instead of, before drilling so there is more hole depth to
tap instead of only the thickness of the sheeting) then
instead you can put nuts (and lock washers if needed and
they fit) on the standoffs to secure them.
