Think its time to get this going again!

Got stuck catching up on work, so haven't been able to put much time into this, but my schedules begining to calm down again so time to get back on the horse.

Here's the update; as mentioned before I'll be using the Iwill DK8EW mobo over the DK8ES, which means I won't get my hands on one till late March

Frustrating, although it allows me to get Cebit in before I go on a component buying frenzy. I'll be going to Cebit 11-14th March, so I'm going to make a provisional list for cooling stuff now, and then visit the watercooling companies to see what new stuff they have coming soon.

2x Swiftech MCW6000-64 (whats the difference between the 6000 and the 6002?)
2x Swiftech MCP650 (can't find any MCP600's in the UK

650's should be OK right?)

Now on the graphics front I think I have three cooling options for SLI 6800's. (/which ever SLI nVidia setup is available March/April.)

1) 2x Swiftech MCW50-03 VGA blocks + NV4045 6800 adapters

2) Gainwards SLI block (thinking about using Gainward cards, although I can imagine the price of this being jacked up)

or

3) ?Blocks?

Now I don't know much about these blocks, only what I've read in that thread. What do you guys think of them?

Out of three options I've listed above which one do you lot think will be the most effective? Any recommendations for other blocks?
