Need Server/Workstation Case Recommendations

Part list for my Server/Workstation hybrid build are as follows:
CPU: Threadripper Pro 3975WX
Cooler: 360MM AIO cooler
Motherboard: ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI II (12x13 inches EATX)

Im looking for suitable case that would allow me to consume all 7 PCIE slots of Asus motherboard /w GPUs . So a case that can support 7 GPUs (Commercial GPUs only , so double or triple slot cards will be used i.e. rtx 3090 or 4090)

PCIE Extender system that i would use : newegg (dotcomm) /p/0Y3-00M7-00677

My preference is put the system beside me, so I dont want anything that would be super noisy (i.e. no server grade PSUs etc).

Silverstone rm600 seems like a good option, but I think its length wont let me accommodate motherboard + pcie extender system /w GPUs along its length dimension.

Other option is to go with open frame gpu mining type rigs , those look ok but I’m not sure about them, i would be putting very expensive hardware in there and im not comfortable with open air case , need something that is closed and protected.

Any ideas ? Im okay with modding any off the shelf case to fit my needs.

Or get a good old 4U case. Some can be tilted 90° and used as a tower. plenty of space for airflow (volume+120mm fans) and stuff .

I got a NAS case from Silverstone…they make interesting stuff and fancy niche cases. Good brand, but lots of screws…lots…

Silverstone, Sliger, Rosewill, and Supermicro are the brands that stood out when I was last shopping for cases.

If you want to cram seven double slot GPUs in it, then I think the case might be the easiest of your problems to solve.

You as asking for at least 14 Slots on a traditional chassis. I’m not saying no one makes such a chassis, but I don’t know of one. Even the biggest of chassis traditionally have a most 9 available rear slots available. And even in a rack mount configuration, I don’t know of any design that affords that much internal room for such things.

the time of single slot GPUs is long gone :-/

So i found this 6U chassis on aliexpress:

Checks out all the boxes for me:

  • Dual commercial grade PSUs
  • Space for upto 8 GPUs (6 on top tray, i reckon I can fit 2-3 more if I remove the 2.5 inch drive bay at mid in front, since i’ll be using NVMEs)
  • Lots of Fans (Planing to go with NF-A12x25 - good idea?) , can also put in AIO coolers (2 of them!)
  • Cheap! (At least compared to other traditional chassis in this form factor)
  • E-ATX mobo support

Am I missing something?

Seems like all that one could ask for is in this chassis.
