I'm looking for a 4U rack mount server chassis. Need it to fit full size ATX motherboard.

Let me know brand/model you have available and asking price.

I have a few.

They are all black chassis with the 'IPC' or some whitebox/OEM brand originally.
All use standard ATX Power also. Front 120mm fan location in front of HDD rack and twin 80mm slots in the rear (no fans in them currently).
Front Power/Reset/USB.

Depending on which case, they all hold either 5 or 6x 3.5's up front (on INTERNAL sleds) plus 1x external floppy bay and the standard 3x 5.25" External bays.
I used 1 case to hold 11x 3.5's with adapters if that helps.
(6 in HDD bays, 1 in FDD bay, 4 in a 3 bay 5.25"-to- 4x 3.5" hdd hot swap adapter box).

When you say full size, do you mean standard ATX ? or EATX (Server Board) ?
(19" deep vs 23" deep cases)....

1 is identical to the above (19" deep) and the 23" deep (for EATX) holds 5 drives rather than 6 up front with extra cooling spacing between the drives.

I don't even know what to ask.... $50 each ?

I sent you a PM buster.

Its a standard ATX mobo, but I'll be water cooling the CPU and the extra room will come in handy so the longer case for sure.
