5boxing on one computer - need help with speccs

[Seraphaw]

Mate I had the Cooler Master Stacker 830 on the list first and now it will go back in after reading your post, very helpful. Thanks to everyone else who posted, I really do want a beast to last me at least a good year

I was thinking of switching the motherboard for one who supports DDR3 RAM and get 8 gigs of those, way faster the way I heard. This is what I had in mind:

ASUS P5E64 WS EVOLUTION LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard

Be sure to check out the Antec Twelve Hundred too - I much prefer the bottom-PSU layout of it more than the top-PSU layout of the Stacker. Cooler air into the PSU helps efficiency and prolongs PSU life - I don't want my PSU to be taking in air coming off my CPU heatsink! Although the 4x 120mm side intake fans help cool the videocard/mobo, I think the Stacker is seriously lacking in exhaust flow. Generally, it's better to have more exhaust cfm than intake to create a vacuum. That's why I like the Antec more than the Stacker - much more exhaust flow helps pull air through the case better. The fact that the Antec is at least $50 less expensive is another plus, and you only need to buy one 120mm fan for side intake instead of four.

I really think the Asus Evolution board is overpriced for what you get. Only two of the x16 slots support more than x4 speed, so it's not like it'll be making good use of 4 videocards.
I'd rather have a DFI LP UT X48-T3R, DFI LP LT X48-T3RS, Gigabyte X48T-DQ6, or FoxConn BlackOps X48, all for less money. For the price of the Evolution get the Asus P5E3 Prem or spend a few bucks more and get the Asus Rampage Extreme - both are listed with faster memory support (DDR3-2000) than the WS Evolution (DDR3-1800).

Was this the case you had in mind then? Antec P190 Super Advanced Miditower, Ext. ATX, 1200W PSU, 200/120mm fan

I get 1200W PSU thrown into the price and a CPU fan.
