So, while the Antec SX1000II handles EATX boards, it doesn't handle
the s2885 because the drive brackets (a nice design) overlaps the
board to the exclusion of CPU0. (NOW I find where someone else
already wrote this. As they say, anyone wanna buy an unused
SX1000II?)

Anyway, I'm looking for a good case that the s2885 does fit well in.
I'd prefer to keep the case as small as possible (while still
fitting). Need something north of 4 hard drive bays plus floppy and a
cd/dvd or two. And I'd like a case that I can try to keep quiet.

Suggestions?

Hi, you can use the S2885 but you will lose 2 of the 6 drive bays, I removed
the fan from one processor and mounted the drive bays ok, and then put the
fan back on the cpu.

I use a Thermaltake Xsaer III the 2885 fits nicely, lots of room and space
for plenty of HDs
