Great job Q! Keep it up!
Tomorrow is my last day of school before spring break. DICE here i come.

I also plan to finish up my little project. What board and proc. should i use first under cold? I can't decide b/c i am worried about f'ing it up with condensation.

My DFI LP UT P35-T2R, my Gigabyte EP45-UD3P, or my EVGA 750i FTW? Obviously, the EVGA has lifetime warranty, but it is also the weakest overclocker, and the vreg and nb get toasty when pushing volts; also it has the least indepth oc'ing options. The Giga is still under warranty (at least i think), and is good for quads; but i don't know how Giga's CS or RMA process is. The DFI is secnod hand, so no warranty; it's good for duals; also though it has the cleanest socket area (no caps around it). The procs are q9300, e7400, e1500, pd 915, p4 660. I haven't used the e1500 or p4 660, but i figure i could test 'em out on air and see what they can do before tossing them under the cold.
I was thinking maybe DFI + pd 915 (hit 4.7 fairly easily with it)...
I just want some opinions though.
