Currently an out-there
design for trade shows such as CeBIT,
the Proto 2, ostensibly a couple of Skeletons hacked together, won't
make it into retail form, unfortunately.
A one-off design by Heiko Polaczek, it certainly looks beefy and mean.

Doubling up means a couple of 250mm fans on each end, and the show model was outfitted with an AMD rig whose innards were clearly visible.
Able to take a regular ATX motherboard with room for three-card graphics, the design you see above isn't complete. Its creator reckons that the final version will be adorned with Perspex on the near side, as well as (slightly) easier access to the components.
Routing components from the
far side
will be a problem, seeing how the motherboard fits in, and it's not the
most practical of chassis, but I just feel the urge to have one.
