Have you considered placing two motherboards in the box? A decent
power supply should be able to power two diskless workstations, and
you could even include convenience AC outlets on the back for the
monitors. One box between each two monitors, with fewer power cords,
would be very handy for schools and cybercafes and reduce the cost
of the workstations. Each mobo could be mounted to one side of the
box, with most connectors in the back. I had thought of placing the
power supply on the bottom, for a low center of gravity.
Also, are your boxes shipping from Ireland? US? Both? Another
advantage of the two-in-one boxes would be reduced cost of shipping.
