Sorry, 1 motherboard per somputer. But if you need to add additional drives, you can purchase an I/O card. It plugs into one of the PCI slots and usually adds 2 IDE controllers (four more drives) to the PC. However, you will probably have to get a more powerful power supply (such as 700w instad of the standard 300-350) to have enough power for the extra devices.

If you wanted to make your own case you could put two
mother boards in but WHY, as far as the hard drives go
you could just buy a SCSI interface and use SCSI drives
but they are more expensive than regular drives, also
most mother boards have two connectors for hard drives
you can have two drives per connector (primary / slave),
if you do that though you would need a PCI card just to run
your CD/DVD drive

How would you fit another motherboard to your PC?

You would need two of everything wouldn't you?

2 x processors
2 x hard drives
2 x memory boards

Why not get 2 PC's and join them together in a network?
