There is a user on these boards who is in progress on a 5 in one box setup. He lives in SE Asia as far as I can tell. Find that thread and start brainstorming.

6 Mini-ITX boards + 1 ATX in a single case[/url]
Actually I live in Hawaii USA and the big build will only be a single computer with massive water cooling. Putting all my ITX boards in it was going to make it too cramped, was not what I originally planned ( I had a brain fart or a wild hair up...) and would have detracted from the main reason why I am making such a case...so I bought 6 small ITX cases.

Mountainmods does make back plates that pretty much makes many of their cases support two mobos. I am not sure if they have one that does 3 mobos, but you can talk with them and they can probably custom make one for you.....because I think they do have cases big enough to support 3 to 4 full ATX mobos, you might saccrafice space for radiators, but if you weren't worried about water cooling, that is a non-issue.

Personally, after thinking it over, I thought my 6 builds in 1 case was limiting placement, but three should be no problem.


what would you use for a power supply? a single motherboard needs 500+ watts. 3 motherboards would require 1500 watts. I don't think they make something that big for a pc. plus you would run into heat issues, not to mention a fire hazard. also pc's are not the most reliable computers, so 1 problem will take the whole system down. I think you are much better off with 3 seperate computers.
I am not sure what the OP has planned, but I would assume 3 mostly seperate computers....just in the same case. A single PSU for 3 motherboards would require 3 20/24 pin main connectors, P4 connectors and other things and how much wattage you need depends on what you are running....my alt computers will be using 240w PSU's, but I am sure it can get by with 120w's. Not that a 500w+ PSU is much more expensive then lower wattage PSU's in innitial purchase price, but getting way more wattage then you need is inefficient and will cost you more $$ to use then getting one that is @20% over the wattage you need. Anyway, I don't think I have ever seen a single PSU with connections for more then 1 mobo, so I'd think the OP will be getting three seperate PSU's for each build.
