thanks, lgustavomp but Duane from Evga told me that will not fit in it.

Interesting to see those images. Are they actual size?

How about the new full tower case from Lian Li, the PC-A77f ??

Big enough?

That case only has 8 Expansion slots. To fully use this board, you need a 9 or 10 slot case (just like the x58 4-Way).

Hi rjbelans.

Lian Li is overvalued, I have the PC-X2000 and I can say that it hasn't bean well thought-out and forward planning in the design.

A manufacture that close there forum and hide for there customers, that company will only see may back in the future. I wouldn't spend a dime on there products.

But company that cares for there customers, they have my loyalty as a customer as long as I live and I have use of there products.

We will continue to update this list, we are currently evaluating another chassis that will also be added to this list in the next couple of days if it passes.

• Mountain Mods U2-UFO, Extended U2-UFO, Ascension, Extended Ascension, Pinnacle 18 or Pinnacle 24 with HPTX tray assembly

Hey JacobF,
 
I was wondering if you could forward the specs of this board to Jeremy at Danger Den?  They have the DD Double Tower case that looks awesome.  But no specs to mod case to board.  I hope Evga is allowing more than just MM access to board specs.

How about this case. Not enough expansion slots, but should fit otherwise?

Can someone from EVGA shed some light to this question please?

JacobF seems to be pretty busy in the GTX 400 launch forums, are there any other EVGA engineers who could send the EVGA Classified SR-2 specs to DD?  I dont have space for a MM EXT.

Anyone know if the SR-2 will fit the ThermalTake case Xaser VI? Its an ugly case but its damned cheap, and has ten expansion slots.

I have a TT Xaser VI and the mobo tray barely fits the XL-ATX, so I would venture to guess a big no on getting the SR-2 in there.

Anyone who can answer his qtn? I'm interested to know as well.

hopefully DangerDen doublewide tower gets on the list, did a slight mod on my doublewide to fit 13.6" height - it will fit. (thats what she said)

i'm currently using the cooler master cosmos 1000. might the board fit in either cosmos 1000 or cosmos-s?
the cosmos series is 628mm in width and features 7 expansion slots.

Cooler Master Big Towers

what is your opinion on this?

Well guys it seems to me that EVGA dropped the ball on this one. They have a great product but the execution is in question. They have produced a board that they did no give much thought about fitment. The board will not fit correctly in any case but with some patients / modifications it can fit. The ATCS 840 is a candidate but only if the removable tray is made fixed and an extension is added to the lower portion of the tray with the lower bracket removed. Also the Lian Li case, the PC-A70/71/P80 will allow fitment, the first two will require the PS to be mounted on top since the EVGA SR2 MB will extend into the lower PS space. Or you could just make your own case from 5052 or 6061 sheet if you are handy.

Guess it's time to get the tape out and start measuring the Corsair 800D sitting at home to see what needs to be done to make this sucker fit.  I figure the PSU shroud that runs along the bottom will have to be dremeled out for the length of the board to fit.  Why EVGA decided to make their own form factor is beyond me, it never bodes well in the public eye in the long term (yes I know dual NF200's and yada yada but seriously a 3-way SLI with E-ATX would've been just fine).

 Well bad news on the 800D, it is tall enough, but not deep enough. Now the Lian Li A77F for all purposes does seem to be a case that would allow fitment and seems to be one of the easiest thus far to use, however it would still require some work since it was not designed for a MB the width "13.6" of the SR-2 ( width measured along the IO Panel side ) but will accommodate. Some holes may need to be drilled and threaded for the stand-offs with the right side hanging over the edge. As long as the immediate full size bay above the HD racks/caddy is not occupied (Memory stick clearance) then it should be OK.

Just also one point to add with all these cases, the power supply will not fit at the bottom of the caes when the MB is installed, it will have to go up top!  

I was planning to buy this mobo but I dont want to put it in ugly montain mod chassis that I have to put in my garage like a toolbox.
And it not give to annybody to modify a chassis.
 
So I e-mail Thermaltake and other chassis builder .
Here is the reply:
 
(Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Thermaltake.
No, not what know at this time.)
And Same anser for other chassis builder I contact......
 
It gone a be another nightmare wen the (clasified sr2 psu) for the mobo will it the shelves....
 
If EVGA dont find a solution soon this mobo gone a go to a big flop.
Sorry EVGA you make a great musle car but it to big and can't go out by the garage door we have to break the wall....
　
I found a solution : I will screew the mobo on my main entrance wall serounding it whit a frame like a picture and name it

Here goes my first post as well. It looks as though that case from gamepc.com is just a Pinnacle 24 from MM. I got sick of waiting for a case for sr-2 and went ahead and built a mountainmods case. I'm not a fan of their cases or their pricing but I think I built a pretty sick case. They finally updated their website to include the HPTX form factor with their U2-UFO and U2-UFO extended cases. The U2-UFO is the smallest case they carry that supports the SR-2 (18" x 18") so I bought that and used half windows on the side and and a big plexi top so the only thing in when looking into the case that will be visible is the SR-2 motherboard and all other electronics will be hidden below. I also felt more comfortable with this mountianmods case knowing that the motherboard will be laying flat instead of hanging which should allow for much heaver heatsinks should I decide I want to aircool the processors. I cant imagine what this thing will weight with two processors with big noctua heatsinks and 4 GTX 480's.  I've got everything I need now except for the SR-2. COME ON EVGA! get with the program. I've been waiting for a month to order this thing!
