Yeah, it's going to be fun finding a case for that. Best bet is to look for an old Mountain Mods or Case labs chassis or a Xigmatek Elysium. Of course you can also mod a case to fit it.
One nice mod for cases this large is to put castors on them so it can be moved easily since even an all aluminium case is still going to have some heft to it once it's loaded up.

Mountain mods still makes a case for it, but 350 bucks is steep. All the others mentioned are unavailable. I been searching for 2 days now. E-ATX cases will not work. Too small. Board has a 15" footprint. Anidees cases are nice. 260 to my door is the cheapest.

Not easy not cheap.
Is there alternatives you could modify?

Only a couple. All of which are roughly 200 bucks before mods. I'll probably go with the cheap case I linked and just put a window in it. It's not hard and I have the skills.
This will be only the second case I've ever bought brand new. lol
I've had this same Dragon case for like 15 years, and it's been modded to death.

Seems most of the url links on here redirects to an ad tracker for me, has for a while. Your "ad free" link did the same for the first time I clicked on it.

It will last me as a daily for a long long time. Love the setup, but not allowed to bench it at the bot for comps hurts. Regular subs are ok though. More use to me as a daily than a bench rig.
