Thanks for that, speaking as an ELX employee, yes we do have the 1U boxes
(2 models) unfortunately the biggest problem is the god damned audio
connectors on many of the newer VIA boards which appear just slightly too
high for those cases - that and lack of suitable back panel. I was kinda
hoping somebody else would pipe up with some different cases we could
trial. Oh as for the dual motherboard you'd have to do some^H^H^H^Ha lot
of custom metalwork.
