The future plan of all this is to have a Quad Core when the prices drop a little, as i cant justify spending 600pounds on a chip at the moment when the Core2 will do me just fine at a third of the price!

Also water cooling is on the cards! Now everything runs stable but some temps are scary, such as the GPUs running at 80degrees! Also the PC is doing a second role of acting as a space heater for the room its in. Trust me, you dont want to the door closing by accident!

For the watercooling im planning on using Zalman gear… namely the new Reserator XT units and associated addons.
