Coolermaster stacker (http://www.coolermaster.com/index.php?LT=&Language_s=&url_place=product_list&p_class=363) jumps off the top of my head.

If you keep your cabling clean, most cases you can find space for a second power supply--as its heavy, square, and has convenient mounting holes, it's not a big deal to hard mount it either. You'll need to construct a power supply relay switch, which is pretty easy.

any case with an 80mm fan mounting is a prime candidate as long as you have enough room for the psu inside this will save you having to buy a hole cutter, mount it on its side if you like and just drill one large and one even larger hole for the switch and mains supply. As for mounting drill holes to fit the standard psu mounting screws or mount it using the fan screws i.e. through case, through psu case into fan (ive modded my psu to use aluminium fans so the mounting is pretty secure.

yes I have a stacker and I love it. It runs 2 psus fine and is a damn fine case if portability is not an issue. :)

The new Thermaltake Armour can have 2 psu's as well I believe.

One PSU can provide stable power for video card and mb and other one can do the same w/ hdds and fans, for example. :p:

Run a second PSU for cooling, like TEC's
