I know, that's why it's taken this long to be "allowed" to buy a new computer...

Furthermore the SLI motherboards are now cheap enough where the price difference is exactly the same. In France the MSI Powerup and the ASUS P5N32-E are exactly the same price (€175).
It's slightly more expensive here, but not much so I'll look into that one as well.
(since you're trying to push SLI on me anyway.. )

But I would really like to try water cooling on my new system.
Really no good reason why other than that it sounds cool..

Little side note, don't make the mistake of not thinking hard about the small things...like cases, fans, and power supplies, etc..
Got these two on my current system, and I think they should be good enough to keep on the new one as well. (+ putting in an extra ultra silent case fan, just in case.. )
