Hey, don't laugh. We exist too! 
Just got my grubby paws on a P5N32-E SLi Plus (the frankenstein board, I find that easier to remember) and E6420, plus 2GB of D9 Ballistix. Just got a WC kit in, so now I'm trying to push it...
Except I'm trying to find a efficient way to load test the system, similar to Prime95/Orthos/whatever's being used now. So far I've just been doing repeated/multiple kernel compiles, but that's still not *really* stressing the system.
Do you guys think running a VM Windows or running under WINE and running those tools would be less effort/an accurate source as compared to just finding nix equivalents? If anything, the additional overhead of a virtual machine or WINE should help to provide a more accurate picture.
