EATX boards 'fit' in the Thermaltake Core G3 case (it is discontinued however).

X9DRD 7LN4F SuperMicro Dual socket LGA-2011 (has dual 8-pin CPU, and a 4-Pin, will be making an adapter from PCIe 6-pin to accommodate power). Only 3 mount holes line up, I used 8mm standoffs at the front edge, but they actually land on the back panel! Thankfully in an area of double sheet where it latches into the case.

RAM is around $10 per 32GB LRDIMM 14900L at the moment.

Heatsinks $9 ea from Dell Precision T5820 part number 0DNP4M (other options might be a Silver Soul 110, but they are a little pricier). Any fan that attaches from the top with 2 screws might work on the "Narrow ILM" 2011 footprint using the AM4 brackets as the AM4 mounting holes are within 2-4mm?

Can run Dual NVMe per PCIe slot, 6 x8 Slots, 3 per CPU This model has an LSI 2308 SAS controller for 8 drives onboard, and 6x SATA from the North Bridge.

Options for power are SFF, but could include the FSP 500 from an Intel NUC Extreme. A few members here have offered a seller $30 on eBay to procure one. https://smallformfactor.net/forum/t...ar-flex-psu-from-geeek-anyone-have-one.19238/
