2 motherboards, 1 case
was doing a dream build and i somehow got stuck on the idea that i *really* wanted a case that would fit 2 motherboards (for a Xeon E5-2667v3 and E7-8890v3. i *want* a E5-2698A v3 in there, but i can't find pricing).
so the first thing that came up was the AZZA Fusion 4000 [The Egg]. it's a bit stuck in the 90s, but hey, it works.
then after a few days, i found the even older (SGIesque) looking Amaquest TW-8x00. hotswap would be nice, but those PSU fans must be obnoxious.
and within the hour, i'd found a computer *desk* -- the Lian Li DK-02
and eventually a more convenient Phanteks Enthoo Mini XL. sadly, i discovered you had to use an SFX power supply. the Silverstone SX600-G doesn't look TOO bad, but a fullsized likely sounds better. and i'm not sure if you can route the SFX to the Mini-ITX board (i'd like to give the 8core Xeon an 850 watter for the two GPUs)
FINALLY, i found the least-offensive-to-the-eyes Lian Li PC-D666WRX, which fits two fullsized boards. it's a bit big, but i just realized as i'm typing this out that i can now put a 2, maybe 4 socket board in the case. naise.
SO, ANYWHO: TO THE QUESTION:
anyone have any other dual motherboard case suggestions? didn't Corsair (or maybe even european Cooler Master back in the day) make a dual motherboard case?
