I've built used then sold systems, been through a few 2 xeons 2 opterons and have had 0 issues due the arch/cpu.

dual boot setups always, windows for games mostly, linux for everything else.

i had issues with my first nv under linux but i'll have to chalk that up to driver issues and its since been resolved


I do have one question however, just been checking out the swiftechs and g4s, thinking i'm gonna go g4, g5 is too much atm, been googling for a place to check pricing/possibly buy these things and haven't found a store carrying them.

where can a guy get some g4s?

If you are looking for a G4 setup, try Powermax.com and browse their used CPU's. They have the best selection of used Apples I have seen on the web, including dual G4's. I've got to be honest with you though, those things are always pricier than what they're worth number-crunching wise, even though newer Apples are fun to use, IMO.

EDIT: Duh, just realized you're talking about Cathar's blocks and not Apple computers.... Talk to Cathar on the forums, he can direct you to a place for G5 and G4 waterblocks !
