Can you fit an extended atx board in a 2010 Mac Pro case and still use the normal IO shield and PCIE expansion slots?
Do you have any reccomendations for a dual socket mATX boardNo, I've never seen it done before. Most people opt for a mATX board instead of standard ATX because the mATX fits much better. eATX would be an even more difficult challenge. Not impossible, but probably not the best choice.
I don't think anyone manufactures a dual socket mATX board. Have you seen any ? There were a few you could buy back in the mid 2000s but none I've seen in more recent iterations. The core counts for CPUs has gone way up recently negating the need for more than one CPU socket.Do you have any reccomendations for a dual socket mATX board
That's a really nice fit. What MB and CPU are in?I have done that but in a PowerMac G5 case. In the Mac Pro you would probably have to discard the disk holders and palce your disks somewhere else.
Here is a picture to show how small the case can look with a big MB

I have a totally uncut case so had to place the MB accordingly.
It was a lot of planing end testing different placements before the final layout.
I am very pleased with it! 24 cores 48 threads 128 GB memory
