Two PSU's and one big board

I’m looking for a case or to mod a case to have space or a slot for a second PSU, meaning a case that can have two power supplies for power to all of the GPU’s and computer components. Rigging both PSU’s to work in sync will be not the problem, finding a case that can fit them and the motherboard form factor I’m going to use is a problem. I’m looking at the EVGA SR-2 or 4-Way SLI Classified, so either an HPTX or XL-ATX with a 4-way SLI set up, so I will need two PSU’s to power all of this. So are there any cases other than Mountain Mod that can hold either of these motherboards and two power supplies, or can be modded to hold two power supplies?

Just go to your favourite online retailer and search "dual psu case" and it should give you a few hits.
 
^ None of those support the form factor of either board...


AFAIK the only cases that support the SR-2's form factor are made by Mountain Mods.

Be sure to pick get one with an HTPX motherboard tray.


The only E-ATX cases I can think of off the top of my head are these:

And of course Mountain Mods..

Why on earth do you need two PSU's to power this? Are you going to 4-way a bunch of Fermi's? Dual-PSU cases are not very common...

HPTX are only available through mountain mods at the moment, but buying one of their cases, you definately won't regret it. (Just remember, with mountain mods, EVERYTHING is an optional extra, you basically get the case, and thats it, no fan grilles, fans, 5.25" bay covers, etc.
