Dual MOBO's In a full tower case. . . . .
I have a full tower case with what looks like enough room above the PSU for another whole mobo, if i can rig a mobo backplane in there, also I could rig a secondary psu in some of the empty 5.25 bays, the primary mobo now is a soyo mobo with intel chip, but I want to add an AMD tbird mobo. Gonna hafta do some major modding, keep your eyes open here for my progress, and expect some postage over at VH.net when I'm done.
Planned featuers
KVM switch to swap between mobo's, and internal direct usb connect, and Parrallel connect and 10/100 hub in case, for my final trick. I'll problly paint the case. why did i post, cause I'll edit the topic, and ask for suggests and help and stuff along the way .
 

2 mobos?
2 psus? as well as all components?
With 2 differnt OSes and everything?

yeah, probly win2k on the amd, cause that one i plan on switching to a dual processor as soon as some good boards come out, i work with adobe photo programs alot at work, and i plan on making this system very easy to move, and with dual mobo's and direct connection. I oughta be able to integrate them in a "cluster" to lighten the proccessing loads, the other day my boss was processing a job, using 3 machines p2 -300s it took an hour, then he realized he'd had the options processing wrong, fixed it had to redo the job, went faster the second time, but still could have gone faster. . . maybe a 3rd mobo on the outside, dedicated router, p166 with linux off a floppy.. . oh the sweet ideas

squirrel dog, i plan on running one mobo a coppermine 700 upped to near a gig, and the other a tbird 700 uped to near a gig, the slow ones are at work and are a torture to use, for the heavy adobe work we do there, it pains me alot to suffer thru it, I'll keep yas updated im gonna get an atx case, move my main sys into that while i do the major construction to the full tower so i dont ruin the electronis with metel filings and stuff, and gonna have money probs for a bit, so. . .i'll keep you folks updated , in a week or so
