A friend has got four x 3.06 GHz Xeons. We hope to build a couple of PCs
with these (one for each of us, not to sell). We have bought from eBay a
pair of Supermicro X5DPL-iGM dual Xeon motherboards, but need to find an
extended ATX case. Any suggestions for what one to get?
We do care about
1) Cooling and performance
2) Cost
We don't care one bit for flashing LEDs, see-through side panels, or any
similar junk. We basically want to use the PC - not admire the case.
If it has a PSU, we would want it to be at least 450 W although given
most of the PSUs with cases seem to be pretty poor, we would probably
rather buy the case separate, if that is an option.
Any thoughts on a cheap but practical extended ATX case?
This one looks a possibility, but I think I have seen cheaper around.

Looking for ideas.
