So a year or so ago I got an industrial backplane setup essentially for free and I've been looking for a case ever since. I just started looking again cause I'm running out of projects to keep myself occupied and I think I found a case on ebay I'll likely pick up. The thing I'm having a little trouble with is the layout on the back. On all the "full AT server cases" I see, they either can only fit standard size motherboards or the keyboard port is in the middle like this: (sorry for the awful quality)
I don't have a picture of my specific motherboard but it's very similar to this, with I believe 14 slots and the keyboard port at the top.
I figure with a case like that I have 2 options- keep my backplane and modify the case (or find a new set of slots which I think is very unlikely), or find a different backplane. Any suggestions how I should proceed? I definitely want to stick with a tower case instead of a rackmount one and I don't believe I need the keyboard port on the backplane because the cpu card I have has onboard ps/2 so I can desolder it if necessary.
