All from Radio Shack, rocker switches, and i decided on those LED's because they come with the housing, 12v resistor, and are already wired.

ramodkk, that's sweet. I am idle at 25-27 now but I'm only at 2.4 Ghz. I may speed it up a bit and see what I can get out of the stock cooler again.

What load temps do you consider safe for the E2160? Thank you.
