Hi All
...thanks for the suggestions ... some are very interesting ...
I'd like to clarify a little though ...
I work with Parallel Quantum Solutions and we sell linux cluster to (mostly)
computational chemists (we're all PhD chemists) our smallest machine is a 4
cpu two motherboard system with our parallel quantum chemistry code
installed. It's a great deskside box for a working chemist. We've been using
this case (in black)

but it's really twice as big as it needs to be ( it does look impresive
though )
A better size would be somethings like this
http://www.calpc.com/html/small_cube_server.html
This would be plenty big enough for a 2 motherboard system but it's not setup
that way.
This one is close (thanks Alvin ) but still bigger than it needs to be

I hope that answers the why? question.
I think a small dual mb case like this would be an attractive personal
parallel code development box too ... and it would be a knockout at the local
linux users group meeting :-) I'll let you all know if I come up with
anything nice.
Thanks again for the helpfull feedback
-Don
P.S.
I'm not really interested in a dual motherboard rackmount case but I have to
admit that this one suggested by Joachim and Steffen is really cool ... check
this out :-)
