I can't say I've ever seen that before. Can you point me to a picture?

Otherwise, I'd guess that the two fans are just screwed together and then mounted into the case.

Well, you place them against eachother with the screwholes alligned properly and then you screw in screws that are long enough? And if you want to make two cables into one you do as always:

Strip them and reconnect them correctly to eachother and then put a new plug on the now newly made end.

(wow, you gave me a very good idea. Not the putting the two fans on eachother but the stripping of the cables and then connecting them so they only take one wire/plug/connection)

Putting two fans together does NOT improve air flow. Because it is just about impossible to get the two fans to spin perfectly in sync, turbulence will be created by the altering fan blades, thus resulting in poor performance.

Turn one of the fans the other way and have it spin the other way round. They have airplanes with dual fans that counter rotate (as well as Helicopters).

But really... Two over one blowing through the same hole, seems like a waste of money
