That's fine, I was just trying to gauge your level of understanding so I can better grasp your perspective.

Have you read the wiki entry on ATX ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX

Do you have a supply ready to go in hand? Do you know its specs?
I think that switch you were referencing earlier is all you'll need for a dual-chamber design. You need a supply before doing anything else, though.

I have 2. 1 is a generic 300w out of a dell and I think the other is 600w.

Haven't read that yet. Do you happen to know what the connector is called? Closest I found is something like a 2-8 gang terminal connector. Either something like that or try something like 12v 4 way splitter and splice the wires.
Unless I find the proper connector

Okay, that's good. At least I know the foundation. I use a DELL I salvaged. Do they have plates/stickers on them detailing the specs?

I believe you'll answer your own question (and perhaps many others) when you go over that wiki entry. ;)

Any opinion on putting all the drivers in small project boxes? Seems it would add extra electrical safety plus just an overall clean look.

Yes, that is almost always a good idea. In this case, thermal issues are relatively minor, but be sure to leave some manner of venting.
