I see I'm not the only one who misses the horizontal set up. The entertainment center is a good idea but I think I can build something more geared to what I need. The idea is to isolate the PSU's so I can vent the heat from them out the window. The grounding can be established with a small braided line with Eye Holes running from board to board and grounding to a common ground with the PSU's.

I'm starting to like this idea better and better as time goes on. I just need a alternative power source to run it all as the electric Co. here has like the 4th highest in the nation. I hate to think what 8 systems would eat up in the way of electricity. Having the KVM will help as the monitor is probably the biggest power hog, but I imaging running 8 systems will bite a good chunk of watts.

Any one have an idea how much wattage 8 300 watt (max) PSU's will eat running the cpu at 100% 24/7?
