Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Thanks for the heads up on the monitors. I believe I'll probably be going with dell since I've always known them to be a solid brand for monitors. I may wait and add the water cooling setup at a later date.
What about temperature monitors and a switch to turn off any lights I put in the case...
What about a TJ11?
Also, I'm not sure about the ASUS monitors. I currently own a 22' ASUS monitor and 42" 1080P Samsung HDTV. When looking between the two it always feels as if the ASUS monitor colors are kind of washed out and not as vibrant.
Apologies, I was at work and trying to type outs this list rather quickly. I only mean to have one large SSD. My list has now been updated. Also, I would like to use Intel chip sets and Nvidia graphics :)

The mobo is as follows:

Intel i7 920 Nehalem Processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202
Any suggestions for AIR cooling devices?
Thanks for the suggestions. I have replaced the drive with the one you suggested and my computer will need the flexibility of being able to connect to wireless.
This is my first custom desktop so I'm kind of in the dark about the whole water cooling system, which is why I'd feel more comfortable buying a kit. As far as the power supply, I was wondering which Wattage and Number of 12v Rails i should be looking for. Thanks

Thank you guys for your help. So far I have chosen:
biostar x58 mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138135

In that case, I'd like to structure the mobo around the Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 1,792MB graphics card and I plan on putting 6GB DDR3 in it, if not more.
.
Processor Type can be AMD or Intel, don't have a preference
DDR2 or DDR3? Preferably DDR3
My limit for the computer is about $2000-3000
SLI 4 for future graphics card updates. If there is a really good SLI 3 i would not be opposed.
I'm looking at building a computer and trying to find the best options. I want a mobo that supports:
4x SLI
Quad-Core Processing
For a case:
I don't mind size. (If its bigger to help circulate air that's fine with me.
Must be able to keep everything cool.
