parts for my p180b

my components will be:

DFI NF4 LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR
Opteron 165
Thermalright Ultra-120 extreme (and the s939 brackets for 3.99)
thermalright HR-05 SLI (for the chipset)
7800gt w/ artic silencer
2x antec mx-1s for 1x samsung 500gb 1x seagate 500gb
4x yate loon D12SM-12 controlled by a Sunbeam Rheobus
im planning on running 2 for rear exhaust, 1 for intake, and 1 for the ultra-120
psu is the corsair 520HX.

i also ordered an extension 8pin cable for the psu since i heard the cables are short.

i hope to get the opteron up to 2.8 with this setup. i've had it at 2.7 with an xp-90 and burning hot chipset (and apparently underpowered psu 420w -- dfi requires 500w minimum

) but it wasn't so stable.

any comments/suggestions are appreciated.

do you already have the 7800gt? or are you planning to buy that? since i wouldn't recommend getting that at this stage. if you already have that, scratch my thoughts

you won't need a fan for the top rear exhaust, since a push-pull's gonna do a hell of a job already

otherwise than that...good parts and that rheobus is gonna have some bright lights

yeah ive got the dfi, opteron 165, and 7800gt

should i block off the top fan hole then?

yeah, it will quiet the noise and it is sorta pointless if you got a push pull...

Why the yate loon D12SM-12 rather than the D12SL-12?
