Hello everyone, i used to be a regular hear but i haven't been doing much computer stuff as of late... Instead guitar hero 3 has consumed my life.

Well anyways, here is the build:

Mountain Mods U2-UFO Duality Powder Coat Black Gloss

PC #1:

Gigabye P35-DQ6
Q6600
Nvidia 8800GT (not sure which brand yet, hopefully eVGA)
Antec Quattro 850W
2xSamsung 203N/BEBN
Plextor 810SA
DDR2-1066 Mushkin XP2-8500 2x1GB
WD 36GB Raptor
Seagate 500GB 7200.10
Seagate 320GB 7200.10


Cooling for PC #1:

Thermochill PA120.3
D-TEK Fuzion
Laing DCC-2
EK 8800GT Full Cover Block

PC #2:

Gigabye DS3R
E4300
ATI x1900XT
Corsair 620HX
2xPioneer DVR212-D
Plextor 716SA
Buffallo Firestix DDR2-800
Hitachi Deskstar 500GB
WD 160GB Caviar (i dunno it's kinda old, may replace it with another 500GB or a 1TB drive)

Cooling for PC #2:

Zalman V900u for x1900xt
Swiftech MCR320QP
D-TEK DB1
Enzotech SCW-1 CPU Waterblock

Alright here is where i need the help, is the DB1 going be ok for that second loop? To my understanding, the enzotech block is a little restrictive, but could it go in my first loop, because the base on my D-TEK fuzion is a little screwed up. I accidentilly decided to lap it, horrible idea. I was young and stupid.

I realize that the MCR320QP won't fit naturally in the Mountain Mods Duality, but i will make something happen, or just get another themochill.

That second PC may get changed in the near future to the AM2 platform, was thinking of getting something cool like a new phenom with quadfire 3870's. Just a thought though.

I would swap the DQ6 MB in for another DS3R.
I'd rather have the extra PCI slot instead of the extra 16X PCI Express slot and fancy heatpipes.

DQ6 is a much better board... especially for overclocking... considering i am currently using 1 pci slot, in 2 boards, i can live with 1 less slot.
