http://www.petrastechshop.com/12yalod1redl.html 3 Red Yate Loons
http://www.directron.com/r4c2r20acgp.html 3 R4s
http://www.moddersmart.com/en/dual-5mm-leds-w-tailed-standard-4-pin-connector-red.html Dual-LED Wire (thanks BBSK)
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...ension_Premium_Cable_-_300mm_CB-3F.html#blank I'll be soldering the side panel wires together and extending with this.

The Rheobus Extreme Fan Controller has six channels
1. Ultra Kazes
2. Yate Loons
3. Side Panel (R4)
4. 230mm Red Front
5. Excalibur (rear)
6. One of the CCFLs

And I have written down a small list of a kind of budget for certain parts, or what a certain part I'm looking at is around (has a rough shipping cost included):

GPU (XFX 5850 probably) 320$
CPU Block (Supreme HF Nickel/Acetal) 105$ (with compression fittings added for looks ;) )
GPU Block (x1) (EK 5850 Block) 110$
CPU (i7-860 from Microcenter) 200$
MOBO (ASUS Maximus III Formula Recertified) 185$
SLEEVING (MDPC-X) 55$
PSU (PC P&C 750W Silencer CrossFire Edition) 60$
RAM (http://tinyurl.com/yk7lenh) 150$
HDDs (2x 500GB RAID 0 WD Caviar) 120$
FANS ~60$
ASSORTED EXTRAS ~20$

Those are the low speed yate's, performance pc's is about the only place to find the high speed ones(might just have to bite the bullet on it).

Alright, I can get 'em for 4$ each there. Check the link on the memory, because there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between the two sets.

You must first designate which items to compare by clicking on the appropriate check box in the product listing.

If you want red, your better off with LED light bars vs. CCFL's, "red" ccfls are closer to orange/pink.

Where did you get $105 on the cpu block? because if you want that all copper supreme, I would wait, because Gary might be getting some plated copper supremes in

I'm not sure what compressions I should get... I just don't want to see the clamps near my block. Should I get 45 degrees so the rad --> block is easier?

But if you have to bend the tubing really hard then that decreases flow... do you think I'll be able to get by with straight ones?

Well... as a result of me and BBSK chatting I've switched back to the X58 side and am either looking at a Foxconn Flamingblade or an EVGA X58 SLI LE.

If I get the Flamingblade, my block choices will vary a lot, but if I get the SLI LE, I will get acetal blocks to keep a low profile look. Any input?

Flamingblade cpu VRM's are better and cooling is better;)

Haha, I can see you're excited for your 10K post, that was a fast reply!

Flamingblade it is, unless someone suggests otherwise...

I might get a nickel plated Supreme HF "All Copper"... I don't think Hank does the plating himself.

The nickel ones are from EK themselves.
