This is a neat idea. The Thermaltake v21 can be combined with a 2nd case to make a larger case.

Looking good right there.

But do I perhaps misunderstand this a little bit?

Then the question becomes next as follows:

Apparently this box is being divided into two sections or compartments.

Are these two sections physically separated, or is it room inside to pull at least cabling from the top down to the bottom?

Could I possibly have a motherboard installed or fitted into each of these two sections and is it possible to have more than one power supply for the whole thing?

What about weight and ventilation by means of installed fans?

Where does RAM memory go? 4 slots for memory on one side and 4 slots for memory on the other side?

Is it possible to have more than two graphics card installed in this box?

I got most of what I need on what I currently have. There are two problems, one being the fan becoming a little to large for RAM memory and the other one is the soldered plate between the motherboard and the power supply.

Also it became a little too heavy to carry when loaded.

Good results are sometimes the result of great innovations.

Also quality rather than quantity is something that may be wished for at times.

Top down, eh?

Too late to edit.

Top, down.

Also better to say 4 slots for memory on one side and 4 slots for memory on the other side of the processor which is assumed to be having the processor fan mounted on top of it.

With a total of 8 memory slots, my computer supports up to 32 GB of RAM when using 4 GB RAM memory cards.

Those memory cards having more RAM for each card becomes quite expensive to buy.

Perhaps you could. I don't know. Follow the link I provided to the case to get more information about it.

Too bad they're $70.- per case, and they only take micro-ATX boards. Although, I suppose when you stack two on top of each other, that you could theoretically put an ATX board in there.
