Thinking about a similar system:

GPU : ASUS EAH5870/2DIS/1GD5/V2 Processor
CPU: Intel Core i7 950 / 3.06 GHz LGA1366 Socket - L3 8 MB
MOBO: ASUS Rampage III Extreme Republic of Gamers
MEM: Kingston HyperX T1 *3 =12GB
Hard Drive : Samsung Spinpoint F4EG HD204UI 2 TB *2
Power Supply: CoolerMaster Silent Pro Gold 1200W
Chassis : Coolermaster - COSMOS S
Drives: LG GH22LS50 Super Multi
SSD: (existing)

Will make it a sport to watercool everything possible:
CPU: EK-Supreme HF - Nickel
MB: EK-FB RE3 - Acetal+Nickel
GPU: EK-FC5870 ASUS V2 -Acetal + Nickel
Radiator: ThermoChill PA120.3
Fan: Yate Loon D12SL-12 LOW
Pump: Laing DDC 3.2(MCP 355)
Reservior XSPC Reservoir Top for Laing DDC


will be a very nice xmas if I actually have this rig running

How is the sound on the ASUS Extreme III ? anyone an idea ? or do I need a Creative Card as well ?
