Hubba hubba hubba 
That some real nice **** you got right there 
Only thing I can think of commenting would perhaps be the cooling? Not planning on getting waterblocks for all those babies?

No watercooling... yet at least...
I still want to drop a Mach II GT phase change in there, but with this already $100 over budget that may take a while...

I emailed Arctic-Cooling about my idea to mod the NV5 silencers, and whether it would work, or if they are coming out with an SLI friendly cooler...
however they haven't responded.

So it's all here, but I've been working on some stability issues...
This DFI nf4 board is NOT recomended for beginers!
This board is sooooooo picky it's absolutly rediculous!
but it benches nice...
how does 8500 in 3dmark05 sound at stock settings?
Benches over 150 FPS in CSS at max settings and 1600X1200!!!
So far my best bench in 3dmark05 has been 9812 with my cards at 398core/1091mem and running 260X10 w/ mem 1:1 at 2.5-3-3-10!
That's my PC3700 @ 520MHZ (466 stock) and with tight timings!
I know there is more to be had, but that's what I got so far...

I'm working on it...
If you run at the wrong frequency on this board, it seems to like to remove my audio drivers...
or just act weird...
I went up to 263X10 and all my scores went down, and I had no sound...
and Doom 3 locks up...single player only, multi is perfect! happens at 97% of my frequency choices...

Just and update...
The 3800+ was sold to buy my 3500+ venice, which was the first in Atlantic Canada, shipped overnight to me the day it arrived in Ontario.
The 3500+ was sold two weeks ago, and has temporarily been replaced with a 3700+. The 3700+ is being babied as I have to be able to do cost recovery on it, in about a week.
The Dual Core Opteron 175 2.2Ghz 1MB cache per core, is being special ordered, and should arrive in about a week 
I have also replaced one of the WD 200's with a WD 250 SATA II w/ NCQ
have noticed no performance gain (and yes, my board supports it)
With 530GB of space, a whole 60GB is free...
There may be a 200GB Maxtor 16MB cache SATA II U150 drive on it's way to free up that Maxtor 80GB to put in "Project: Sneaky Beast"

Yikes, Make that dual core Opteron spin!
NCQ doesn't do anything for performance with single cpu/core systems, but with the Opteron you should perhaps see some improvements.
And fr the record: I got 1.06 TB and about 60GB is free

So after way too many BSOD's I determined the problem was with my ram. After failing to be able to sort my issues out on the newest bios, I dropped back to the last one.
I'm currently running at 2400 (300X8) to make sure my ram is stable.
The 9X should be up by the morning. 10X if I'm lucky.
