This is my third attempt to build a case to house two full PCs and
all the other stuff that goes with that. The idea this time was to
make a case that looks like a piece of furniture and blends in well
with our other furniture. Access is via a door on each side, one to
the PSUs and hard drives, the other to the motherboards, mobile
racks and optical drives. It really is a pleasure to work on as the
doors are held closed with magnetic catches and can be popped
open anytime to swap a hard drive or swap parts out. In normal
use the whole thing is controlled from my desk via a breakout box
that has a drive for each PC plus power and reset switches. The
main cooling solution is by having most of the bottom of the case
open and covered by a mesh grille with filter material, air is drawn
in from underneath and expelled via the vent at the top.
Inside are dual core and quad core CPUs from Intel.
Motherboards from Asus and Gigabyte.
RAM by OCZ and Corsair.
Graphics accel by ATI.
Hard drives by Western Digital.
PSUs by Antec.
