All, going on vacation, not sure of my internet status over the next 10 days or so. But I'll get back to the guide updates as soon as I can.

Also @ Barbarossa, what water blocks are you using on your board?

I haven't looked into water setups at all, maybe Barbarossa  or someone else can work up a "How To" and some cost numbers.

As linked in my post with the pics
I´m using the Aquacomputer cuplex kyrros delrin G34
the Koolance 370 also works, bur requires  additional screws
 
So setting up an quad G34 with watercooling is not that much different than your average custom water loop.
Just make sure you have ample rad size and enough ooomph on the pumps. I suggest two Laing DDC 1 T (swiftech mcp 350/355s), or if you want to go overboard the Laing D5 (swiftech 655).
Giving you an estimate on cost is somewhat difficult from Europe, and I only needed the cpu blocks and some tubing as I already had all the rest.
 
edit: have fun on your vacation bowlinra!

Hardware Decisions and Discussions - Case / Mounting

Case or run Naked (w/o a case). That is the question. I still have mixed feelings on this one. I guess my visions of granduir lead me to think, I might have more than one of these setups, needing some form of a wooden homemade rack. I also had concerns with the weight of the CPU Coolers on a vertical mounted motherboard. I'm not so concern with this anymore (see note in the Heat sink / CPU Coolers section <add link>). I also thought the heat displacement would be better horizontally placed. 
If you wanted a case the #1 issue is the size of the motherboard is just huge (16.48" x 13" (41.9cm x 33.0cm)) it NOT going to physically fit in most cases, virtually all case will have to be modified somehow. The Supermicro H8QGi motherboards have 13 screws to properly attach to the case, I would guess 6 of those screw in standoffs will have to be drilled and tapped. Even large case like the popular full case Cooler Master HAF 932 will need move fans to the outside of the case for the side, top and back. Details reference ChelseaOilman's New 4P Build 

Still Under Construction - Check Back for Updates

I do appologize barbarossa, I missed that link in your post. And thanks for linking to them.
 
And bowlinra have a great time on your vacation.

Can we get this stickied?

Add BIOS settings, PSU update and minor edits 

Great job, bowlinra! I wish I had the cash for one of these.

UPDATE:
Added power wattage draw under the PSU section.
Added AMD 2P Build Cost.

Yes, please do!!
 
 

I wanted to say thank you again.  My July bonus will be here in a few weeks and then I will be able to begin my first 4P project.  It will take a few months for me to save enough for all  four chips, but that's the beauty of this.  I can start with one and build on up.
