      Why bother?  You'll need multiple displays, multiple graphics cards,
extra memory, multiple graphics tablets, and a bigger power supply.  You
would probably also need an expansion chassis to hold all this stuff.  So
why not just get multiple machines?   All but one might be diskless if
the machines were networked together, so you could save on hard disks.  
CAD is CPU-intensive enough that sharing a microprocessor is generally a
bad idea, anyway.
