Yes the case requirement is tricky 13 slots!
pciagp13s2lg.jpgI've purchased one of these from mercari which has modular parts of 3mm aluminium you can swap so it might work with a custom rear io plate:

SMART FLEX.pngYou will need a rack mount backplane case for that PIAGP backplane but guessing you already know that.
Did the one you ordered come with the PISA board which is a requirement for the ISA slots to function?

Yeah brought the backplane 7 years ago! Came with something like pisa-kit-01.
Good point though the isa slots are unusable without the pisa part for potential buyers
It's gonna be fun finding an ATX case that will have clearance for the full length CPU card without having to remove the drive cage.
I really don't see how that backplane is going to fit in a regular ATX case even with customizing the back panel.
Plus you are going to need to add extra standoffs to the motherboard tray to mount the backplane.
I have multiple of these backplanes and CPU boards and the only option I see besides a rack mount case is a full tower case that will fit an E-ATX motherboard with the power supply mounted at the bottom.
And that is with some heavy case modification.
If you do get it all together in an ATX case, make sure to post a thread about it.
