Hi,

I have a Tyan K8WE for which I need a case. I have tried looking for
an e-atx case but none of them really look very nice :-(. If I buy an
atx case deep enough, will I be able to fit my tyan into the case, ie
are some of the mounting points the same. Specifically i am looking
at the Zalman GT1000 case. Has anyone tried fitting an e-atx
motherboard into this box?

Thanks,
Dave

The Zalman web page says "standard ATX". And the lower drive
bay sticks out a bit, in the motherboard direction.

Maybe a CoolerMaster Stacker would do the job.

A few more models here, with "stacker" in the name.
