I guess on the GPU's I will probably just stick with the GTX295 but if you want to pick a part for the top ATi card also until I make the final decision then that will give me a look at both. I'm guessing that going with either of those that i'll only be able to use 2 cards so we'll stick on that.

Other than those things and the CPU I have no idea what else really needs to be cooled.... chipset, mosfets? Thats where i'll really need your help on if those things being cooled would make a big difference or not. If you think it would then i'm all for it... but your the pro on that so i'll trust you on if it's needed or not.

It will be used on a HSPC Tech Station so room isn't an issue. If I do put it all in a case later down the road it will most likely be a MountainMod U2-UFO Horizon or Ascension and not the Cosmos S like I was thinking before... So plenty of room. But it all doesn't have to fit inside if that helps at all.

So here is where i'm at on hardware....

ASUS Rampage II Extreme - (chipset, mosfets?)
Core i7 either 965 or (975 if they hurry up with it.)
2xGTX295's or 2xTop ATi Cards

Anything else i'm missing?
