In my area space is limited. So If I were to do a 4p build it would have to go in a case and be verticle. So the water cooler option would probably be the best for me. But then I'd need a new case to fit such a beast. We need to compile a list of any cases that will fit these monster boards with little to no modification if possible.
Very nice job so far bowlinra.
@NerdGZ, what kind of themps do the stock Phenom coolers give you?
Also @ Barbarossa, what water blocks are you using on your board?
And one final side note, Operon 6128 8 core CPU's are currently going for $165 or so on fleabay. For those of us that are wanting to do this on a faily tight budget. And yes I realize that budget and 4p machine don't go together so well.
