My MSI K7D dual is in a Coolermaster, but it was a very, very tight fit. A Lian-Li would have been a better choice, except I liked the more finished CM look.

Oops! Yes, he is. My bad.

Sometimes, I think I'm losing it altogether.

way to big m8. has 2 be slimline, small as possible. I believe my best choice is to pace the 2boards in a custom case made from 2 other cases. Still workin on it.

Any more ideas and help are welcome.

how about an old server tower and mount the boards facing each other so the pci slots are offset one set up and one set down, the boards mounted to the outside and your fans blowing through the middle to cool them down. the 2 PSU sitting above the boards and a blow hole to help with the heat.

Just an idea

I say you get two motherboard trays..and use them for your foundation..
Build a case from steel, aluminum, or acrylic which would let you completely customize the case...but that's just me..

Not my problem. Either way the point is a lot of computer retailers have tons of cheap cases. Check any that you can order from, or look at local computer shops (with used stuff etc) you can usually pick up cases real cheap.
