Hi All,
I've been digging through information online, and nobody has clearly explained the differences between SSI EEB 3.61 and EATX form factors. If I buy a SSI EEB 3.61 case (specifically the Asus Z8PE-D12 Dual Xeon Nehalem), will this fit in any EATX case? Does it require a specific SSI power supply?
I'm looking at the following cases for either the above Asus motherboard, or the supermicro MBD-X8DA3 (which is listed as EATX).... what do you think would be the best bet. The case will probably be holding 5 HDs, but only one DVD drive. I'm not planning on water cooling, unless somebody could give me a solution that's not horribly expensive. I'm not overclocking so it really shouldn't be necessary.
