Why not just use one of the cool-master cases? The cases seem to be a 4 panel vent these days.

Think it does: you can connect older devices no problem; backwards compatibility. But to get full speed from a USB3 device, you need USB3 slot to put it in, and if there's a cable needed, it needs to be USB3 compliant.

I'd bump the memory to a triple-channel kit. Otherwise it's pretty much perfect (means I'd happily buy it myself).

m8, if you havn't ordered yet, i would seriously consider getting one of the new amd am3 socket 6 cored cpu's
Here is the bigger brother version. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103849 6 cores each rated at 3.2 ghz... for $300 try getting a deal like that with intel. (intels response to this cost 1k) Here is what appears to be a good mobo.. It has 4 pci e slots which means 3 gpu's for graphics and one for physics if you so choose. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813130274 Here is 8 gigs of ram. (PS im not up to speed on the latest ram trends so their might be a better alternative out on the market now) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145284 As for GPU i would do whatever you believe is best. Both companies provide excellent products. PSU make sure that it is powerful enough to power all of your toys and the such. Also just because it is rated at x wattage doesnt mean it will give out. Skimping on a PSU can bite you in the arse if you dont watch it. Have fun and enjoy your new toy

EDIT: Also two deciding factors in terms of selecting Intel, the EVGA MOBO has a life warranty, and it matches with my case colors.

So you are telling me its worth spending an extra 600 dollars to match the performance of an amd core design to match colours and stuff? Also if you are into tweaking AMD's new AM3's are a breeze to overclock.
you wouldnt need 10 pci slots to have that. Once pci e slot fits one gpu, the slot underneath it may or may not get covered by the gpu but nowadays mobo manufactures are starting to make extra space in between pci e slots.

Actually the difference right now between the AMD x6 and the Intel I want is minimal according to this chart:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html Plus with the I7 1366 mobo I'm getting, when and if I feel like I can get the I7 Extreme, which is at the top of that list. And I'm only paying 180 more for the mobo. In terms of Ram I'll go with this Corsair Triple Channel DDR3 1600. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145224

I'm going to go with the standard fan cooling at first(since my build excluding tax, shipping my and case) is up to $1,860.90.
This is including the OS Windows 7 64 Professional(Cheaper than ultimate) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16832116758 And a screen http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824236052 Although I could just use my 36 inch Samsung LCD tv, since it does have HDMI,DVI, and PC input's, but i don't think the other half would like that. Edit: Actually i think I will go with a 1000W PSU anyways. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817171049
