Is it possible to put 2 circuits into one case in series? Lets say 2 different fuzzes for example. Would this cause problems or not? How would you go about wiring it up (using the same jacks for both). Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's very possible.
Search for two circuits in in box in the forums and in the gallery.
Many posts about that one here.

  Hello Pain! Visit GEO, GGG, all the links for better info, GGG has wiring diagrams...see 'pictures' thread, FAQ.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.

Thanks a lot for the replies peoples. I will give those two suggestions a go. So generally speaking there shouldnt be any problems, right?

Generally speaking, no.

If you are using a true bypass, such as with a DPDT or 3PDT, simply connect the input jack to the input of the first switch, wire it to the effect, then the output on that switch goes to the input on the next switch, wire that one to the FX, and the output of that switch goes to the output jack.

Basically you create a chain. If you are using very high gain effects you may get extra noise, but if you just use common sense and dont cram them all together and overlap wires, etc, you should be good.

You should be able to find some good diagrams around..

Just found a good one on GGG like Petemoore suggested (thanks for that). I am thinking about building a Furry Sabertooth (don't kill me) and hoopefully another fuzz in the same box (perhaps some kind of Octavia). Does that sound like something that could end up unsuccessful?
