There's no question on the ABS Tagen 1100W BZ, it's rock solid and has everything a PSU ever could have.
As for the water cooling loops, I was thikning of getting that thermo-chill coolant by DD, it looks pretty good so far. For the CPU I'm using the DD TDX, and for the GPUs I'm using DD's 8800GTX blocks (which are actually made by BFG). I'm also using 2 seperate rads (one blue and one ferrari red lol (matches the coolant), they're 240mm GTS Stealth rads. I'm using one right now, and it does the job quite well.
ROFL @ Mark, but I want the unlocked CPU so I can really push that thing. Plus, I do LAN parties almost weekly, and that's some bad *** bragging rights I'll get for this.
@aspire: A single loop with any radiator will not cut it for efficiency. Both the CPU and dual GPUs are going to be very hot, and a single loop just isn't practical. There's plenty of room in my TT Armor. One rad will be in the front where the drive bays used to be and I'm going to gut out a fan and use that to mount the other to the back of my case.
@Prophet: No use, I already have an 8800GTX and they will be in the very high performance class for quite some time, so I'm not to concerned. No sense in spending a larger ammount of money to buy the next gen card and have to scrap my current 8800GTX, when I can spend 400 and go SLI with 1200+ in GFX power in my rig.
Let me just say this: With these cards, that proc, on this board, be prepared to update the #1 rank in the 3DMark06 list
