there you have... is possible that the board just fit " 4u form factor" based chassis, which almost are Rack units...
 
Play it safe, take a case where you can remove all HDD/ODD cages, you will have to use a drill anyways.

That's what I was thinking about, buy the case posted above ( it's a Full Tower)
And remove all HDD as you already mentioned above.

I have done it already to fit a Tyan S7012

Form factor of that Intel board is slightly bigger than HPTX (form factor made possible by EVGA and their dual socket offerings... IE the SR-2). At the time there were only a select few cases that actually took the board and left the rest of the chassis intact. This was one of the more affordable options I recall.... http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?productid=122&type=overview

The only other one that comes to mind was a mountain mods chassis, and I think it was quite expensive. :( Goggle up HPTX chassis and see if anything you see if available. Oh there was the Nanoxia DS6. not sure on pricing though.

I will check thosé you suggest me.
 
Now that i have decided what case i want have some questions about the CPU's.

This building will use 2 x Xeon 2670, now my concern is: is there any possibility that could be a bottleneck between CPU and Gpu?
To clarify the GPU is a 980TI.

Cheers.
 
Wait, is this a gaming build, or is the gaming just on the side? Them CPU's will hold you back in gaming, 2.6Ghz just won't cut it no matter how many cores they have.

It's a Gaming build, I know the CPU is 2.6Ghz but don't forget the turbo boost.

I would suggest not running this, I have tried a similar configuration for fun and it doesn't work that well (dual 2699 v3).

Well, it works but you will get way, way better performance with say, an overclocked 5960X or an 5930K/5820K.

If the intended use is for rendering och anything compute-intensive aswell it might suffice. But for gaming, there are better choices. A 4790K or 6700K would demolish the dual Xeons in current games with just a single GPU.
 
3.3 is better but I really hope you're not paying much for this. As a gaming build it's quite daft IMO. See the post above mine.
 
I will take the risk and build it, in the worst case I can build another Machine.

You know that it isn't a "risk" it will perform worse than a 4790K for example.

I know, I have tried it. It will perform fantastically where it is supposed to. Parallelized tasks, memory latency and cache coherence for example.

But it will not perform as a gaming machine.

If you want to splurge on some hardware for gaming, put that money on the GPUs. Get a 5960X, overclock it's socks off and buy 3-4 980 Ti/Fury X.

The problem is that I have a 400€ brand new motherboard laying around and has to be use it for something.

There's not an option to sell it?

I mean, its a really big investment for something that most likely won't perform as you want it to.
