I say recurring because I'm constantly finding evidence of people asking about them, but never finding solutions or solutions that appear to still exist. It's because of that later bit; the fact that most of my searches turn up years-old dead links; that I'm making a new thread for the issue.
Long story short, I'll have my hands on a TYAN S8812 as well as two 6174s in a couple months from now (without going into too much: this was both lucky and expensive). Barring the issue with two of the board's ram slots (while I can't imagine how sloppy/deceitful things were at Tyan for this I've got it for a good deal and really won't be bothered for the loss) the largest issue is trying to find something it can fit inside.
While I'm not opposed to making something from scratch (or having something manufactured for me), this is already going to be an expensive project piece for me and I'd like to avoid splashing out the price of a beater car on a case before it's even operational.
Is there anything reasonably priced out there that can hold a MEB board or be made to hold one without the use of a metalshop?
