where can I get a relatively inexpensive case to fit an Asus KGPE-D16 AMD Opteron Server Bd?

trying to get husband's computer all upgraded, or at least started, while he's away in the hospital

brought his current tower, plus motherboard, 16 core cpu, fan and power supply to a local shop to be assembled for him (buying 2 8 gig ddr3 memory and a basic sound card from them to also be put in)

guy called a little while ago to let me know that the motherboard won't fit in the current (fairly large but not large enough) tower case I brought in
