If you could? There are many cases that house two computers. If he can already make a case, then there's no doubt he could make one that'll hold 1 to how many motherboards he wants.

Defending the 'Druid--good man! LOL. The last box I built I crammed 4 mATX mobos in there, 2 PSUs, and 4 HDDs...a real exercize in space management.

This time I went the other way--I could prolly fit 16 mATX mobos in there--at least 8... but instead I currently have one very chilly mobo in there...and it is a joy--no mass of wires, no heatsinks almost touching...just a big and well ventilated space.

So I found the camera cable but now the camera is acting up. I built the case in the rain so I have some suspicions I might have gotten the camera damp.

When I decide what I am doing with this mod i will know whether to post pic private or public... still trying to get the gear to function correctly.

Stupid issues with freezing (no pun) and so on...

Yep...I took shots of the entire process--but the files are not being read--"out of parameter" first time for that. Seems like I am having a bit of trouble with electronics lately...LOL

honestly, if you mounted a handle that is similar to a generator's handle, and put some decent sized wheels, you could take it off-roading.

or connect the bottom to a decent R/C car with a WAY bigger motor and you could drive it around

Well it's official..the entire photodocumentation of the build is lost--the SD memory on the camera bugged and none of the files are readable.

HAHAHAHAHA.

So much for entering it in the competition....the only shots I have are a pile of materials...no assembly shots.

Wierd...

My Wife already nicknamed the rig BTW: Munch

Which seems fitting since it ate two mobos and two CPUs and a camera in the first 24 hours....
