You're going to need water. Nuff said. With that AXP chip you're going to need a 156W or higher pelt. You'll need a dedicated power supply. You'll need insulation materials. You'll need a decent water cooler. Most of all, you'll need to read up on everything you can get your hands on in regards to pelts. There are no halfway applications that'll work. Don't even think about aircooling a pelt on an XP. Best case, you'll break even with aircooling. Worst case, since pelts are very good INSULATORS, you'll fry your chip within minutes of turning on your machine.
