I am wondering if there are cases out there that can accomodate two motherboards? Anybody seen anything like that?

I would use the search function I thought there was a post on this not to long ago.

i still don't see the point... why would you want two computers in one case, it'll just be heavier, hotter, and more expensive than having two cases...

You are better going off with an NLX specified system, commonly used in rackmounts and server blades.

i guess it would be like hotswapping/dual-booting at its finest using a KMV switch inside the case to link them - good idea if you are trying to save space - bad idea if you want to stay cool - but having 2 puters running anyway is gonna be 2 computers running reguardless where their parts are at - put 2 120mm fans in the front and 2 in the back - heat wont be a problem - opening the monstrosity up and servicing it sounds like its gonna be a task :S
hell that would be perfect for your own playable dedicated server box - you could have 1 puter running the server and have a foot long cat5 cable from one to the server then to the router/switch LMAO
i would definately make it a water cooled system with an external tank/pump/radiator - with dual submersible pumps in a gallon tank and a dual 8" radiator sammiched together
i say go for it - make a 100pound server!!!! the hell with everyone else -
i do recall someone saying humans will never fly... :S

Sounds heavy to me... specially if both were water cooled *drops mouth*
