So I’ve been working on my Xeon workstation. The watercooling parts are stuck in customs. So I’ll need to get a couple fan radiators or something for now.

But now I’ve discovered there aren’t really any cases (my dad got one for me) that I can see which will fit my zx-du99d4x8 motherboard.

So I’ll need to find some old cabinet system to retrofit and make a mid sized server cabinet out of. I’m getting kinda desperate to start using my workstation.

I’ll make a big threat on my workstation here when it’s done.

I went to the thrift store. They have a sign out front saying they don’t take all sorts of good stuff like furniture, printers, PVC, tanks, canisters, building materials, appliances, etc. They refer you to all the different local disposals. I tried to prepare my picture but too much identifying stuff.

So maybe I need to go to one of those places or a landfill to look around. Btw I’m looking around for a broken or so printer to dissect for all the open source printer/Printer OS people.

    Can you send me the mobo specifications? Also clearance for coolers and GPU, and your budget for a case.

      Yes I will once I’ve successfully collected all that. Budget is likely $120 max (but it needs to be actually good).
