Default Power Supplies and Multiple Motherboards

Is there a way of hooking an unknown number of power supplies to an unknown number of motherboards.

I was thinking that there must be a way of modifing the power supplies to feed power to a "Power Buss" of some kind. Then I think you could plug in a number of motherboards into the "Power Buss".

Is this possible? Isn't this how hot-swappable power supplies work?

What I want to do is to build a custom box to hold five motherboards that make up a web server cluster. I don't want to put five poweer supplies into the box. I was thinking I could get by with two or three 600watt power supplies. I don't plan on OC'ing the boards but I plan on water cooling the contraption.

Drop me a line if you all have any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
