Wishful power-fantasy thinking? Maybe. But if you've seen that #retrobattlestations picture of 3 IBM 5150-era cases next to each other with the caption "This is all one computer," or words to that effect, and the explanation by the posting person, then it means it's possible and has been done.
Fast-forward to circa 1990 tower cases. So, the general question I have is, if all the drive bays in the native case are full, and I still want to connect other internal 5.25-size drives (Zip drive, magneto-optical drive, tape drive, whatever), what is the easiest way to physically do it? Is it just getting an additional computer case with its own power supply and running the controller cables from an open expansion slot from case 1 into an open expansion slot in case 2?
