Are you looking to actually fit into a rack? Or you just don't have any other better ideas? 
I say that because I have been playing with SBC for a few years now, and have accumulated some number of them. And so I keep thinking about cases for all this time (on and off). About modifying existing ones, or this, or that...
Well, lately I start to think maybe it's just better to put together my own case out of some of this extruded aluminum T-slot that has become so popular in the last several years. This way I can make it however I like. And I can add to / change it later. So in the future, this is a direction I expect I will be exploring even more.
But maybe you actually need a rackmount chassis for some reason. In which case, I think almost any would do? I dunno though. And you may have to drill some holes. The height (including heat sink) would be the main thing, I guess?
