OK. In my quest to create the ultimate Workstation/Gaming PC I have come up with this setup. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

PSU: Pc Power and Cooling Turbo-Cool 850 SSI

Case: Thermaltake Xavier Armor or Lian Li PC-70 Full Tower

Motherboard: Asus A8N32-SLI deluxe

Processor: AMD FX-60

Ram: Corsair TWINX2048 - 3200LL Pro (4 gigs - for that extra oompf in Maya and 3DsMax)

Graphics Cards: PNY 256 7800GTX SLI (I know they are not 512s, but I got em dirt cheap and I will be upgrading to SLI 512 7900s when the reviews comfirm superiority)

HD: 36gb Raptor (for OS) 74GB Raptor - both I previously owned, but will upgrade soon after

Sound Card: Audigy 2ZS (Only use headphones, so might as well keep using my old one)

CD DRives: two Lite-on SOHW DVD+-RWs

The processor will be cooled by a Vapochill LS and the graphics cards will be liquid cooled: Here is the watercooling list.

Waterblocks: Danger Den NV-78SLI
Radiator: ThermoChill PA120.3
Radiator Fans: 3 Papist 4412 F/2GLL
Resevoir: Typhoon Single 5.25" Bay Resevoir
Pump: Iwaki MD-30



Anyone venture a guess at what types of 3DMark06 scores I will receieve with this beast?
 
Yea... but by the time they fill all the orders its more of a month..
 
the build looks great but i wouldnt go with PNY, go with EVGA or BFG for their support and Lifetime warranty.

Very cool case... I may just change my case now.

It's great.. it's huge but gives you tons of room to work, especially if you want to w/c. Dual 120mm vents on the rear is perfect for mounting a dual 120 rad.

The HD mounting system on the bottom is awesome, it even came with a little toolkit to hold extra parts but I removed it to make more room for HDs.

Has two pre-drilled holes with rubber grommets on the bottom rear for water cooling tubes too.

I've had several $200+ cases including some coolermasters, and for $150 @ newegg this is by far my favorite case of all.
 
Damn nice specs. I dont think the Gigabyte 3D Aurora will work if he has a triple rad, so I'm gonna suggest the Mountain Mods line as they can fit everything you're getting and more.
 
I'm gonna go with the PNY cause I am hooked up with a friend. Life-time warrenty and at cost upgrades for as long as my friend works there, which looks like the next 5-10 years or so. Plus I'm going to upgrade to QUadros later on, and PNY are there sole supplier

As for the mountain mods... I think I've found my dream case. Thank you
