Server Motherboard with case help

[Deery50]

I read online that some people, while making their server build, had to drill holes in the case's back plate or just buying another case. I was just wondering if with this case and motherboard, I would have to drill holes because I know that with server motherboards there isn't really a standard. Thanks to anyone who helps out!

You need to find a rack that can support E-ATX motherboards (extended ATX). Do you need a rack? Or is this just a workstation?

For that case, it says it supports E-ATX and below and it supports the actual size of my motherboard 12/13.

You should be fine then. Some people may have oddly sized boards like the ASUS version of the dual LGA 2011 board (it is not even an E-ATX).

But as far as the location of the brass connectors, I heard that there isn't really a standard, is this true?

If it supports E-ATX, it should have standard brass connectors. I would see other case options if you are nervous.
