I love them, they really work, and Amazon has them for just under 23 bucks. However, I can't use them for this build, water coolers get in the way, but no worries mate, 15 case fans should work fine. I have 2 of the coolers and one goes to the wife's computer and the other goes to my backup rig. I am also adding a fourth monitor for a matched set of HP HDMI 22" monitors.
Working on the second psu mounting bracket today, just have to let the paint dry and mark and drill the mounting holes and the psu becomes a bolt in proposition. Last but not least comes wiring the fan controller, yuk.
Ok, finished PSU bracket mounted in case after paint dried, Then mounted PSU by the way, my artist friend can make all sorts of brackets with his plazma table for a very very good price, all he needs is a line drawing with demensions, and the drawing needs to be a .bmp no other will work unless you have autocad and can generate .DXF. Ok UPDATE!!
Scrap the second power supply, sometimes, no matter how hard you want something, it is NOT going to happen. Went with the Thermaltake 1200 alone and used a "Y" cable I got from frozencpu.com and it worked well

it is kind of hard to see and part of it is under CPU 0's fans and rad. Got the board installed and wired up all the fans and Hot Damn everything worked but 2 of the fans, but after some trouble shooting, all is well. This pic is worth a thousand words

you got it buckaroos, 24 cores on the old widget. The fan controller is a bit bright

but since this is not one of those square boxes and has a fron door it keeps the lights under controll

Well everything is working well, temps are between 30c for the board and around 45c or so depending on how hot it is outside for both processors, the PSU runs cool, also, Windows Ultimate is running great, did not have to reinstall the OS, just let it do a repair and then installed the EVGA drivers and everything was just ducky. I did not have to cut the case and only had to bend one small piece of metal, so I have to say that yes, the SR-2 does in fact fit into a Thermaltake Xaser VI case and does well after you are done.
Thanks for reading this, the build was fun.
