Update

Still need to order a few parts, kvm switchs, power protection, mod cables, few odd bits and am thinking of adding a second monitor for dual screens.

Just need to work out how to cool it now, I was going to go with water cooling, but then I heard about phase charging or vapor cooling which is basicly a freeze for your computer, only problem, it only supported CPU's but I have found someone over at http://www.dangerden.com/ who has a contact with a guy who can make a tri-head head for phase changing (vapor cooling) this means, there be a cooling hoses for the CPU and the two Graphic Power Units, this cooling system can lower temps to -65C to -35C.

This new PC is a big upgrade from my old 2.1 GH, 1 GB, 7600 GS PC, gonna rock. Razz

Big thank you to my GF, I love her to bits. In Love
