The idea is pretty simple: stack two 4u cases, put the motherboard and GPU (and maybe a PSU) in the top one, put everything else (including water cooling setup) in the bottom one.
I wanted the motherboard xase on top for purely aesthetic reasons. I could then put a nice window on the top of the case, maybe some fanboy lights, etc.
One concern I have is that heat rises, so perhaps I would be better served putting the case with the motherboard on the bottom.
Also, I'm not sure if I should try to keep them as two modular cases or cut the bottom out of the top one and make it one big case...
IN addition, would your run your cables out the back, or through the bottom? Out the back I will be running up against that max cable length of SATA (3.3').
Choices, choices...
I'm just fishing for ideas and suggestions... anyone?
