Two motherboard case?

[trikster2]

I run two computers at home normaly.

I'm looking to do a complete system rebuild and as I search for two cases that will fit in my coffee table I started to wonder

Does anyone make a computer case that holds two computers?

It seems like a cube case with the mother boards in the center would work nice. One large PSU shared between the systems would be cool too but probably hard to find one that has two mother board connectors....

I was thinking of putting a miniITX mobo in with my ATX mobo and run 'em off a KVM switch. Anyone know if they make an ATX power splitter?

exactly what I want to do zipper. Got a kvm and switch between the computers all night as I'm normaly doing two different things.

Now this would be cool: If the kvm was built into the case and you only had one video/keyboard/mouse cable coming from the case.....

Maybe like you said two m-atx or m-itx boards could fit inside a standard case somehow. Get a monster 500w PSU and something to split the MB power and away yougo....

What are the maximum dimensions you would consider?

The space in the coffee table is 42.5 by 22.5 height is 11.something inches.

I can use the whole space and I'm sure the best route will be two cases, something like the athenatech SC100 stacked.

I did find one two motherboard case:

Only two problems:

1. Mini-itx

2. Wish it had a built in KVM and only 1 external port for keyboard video and mouse!

Oh, but there's a third problem - it's made of unobtainium...
