Tell my why it won't work, or why I shouldn't build it...
P.S. If an admin comes across this thread, can you please fix the thread name? tank -> talk

Nice build. Sure you wouldn't rather have a used car?
I wish i could find a reason to talk you out of it but i can't. Both builds will work.
One suggestion though: caviar black > caviar blue
depends how many gpus you want to run. The first mobo you could fit 2 and still have nice air flow around them If you did a custom water block you could fit 4, but you would still have to worry about the power requirements.
The second mb, yea you could fit 2 gpus, but the lower card would choke the air off the upper card. you would run 10-20c hotter on that gpu. I would not do that. I always look for mb that have 2 slots between each slot I want to put a gpu in.
for example this old mb http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131377
or this current mb http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131801
good examples of dual gpu mb.
Or this?

The dual intel is 2.5x the cost. The dual AMD is 2x the cost.
MAN! I really wish there was a way to get more CPU density without increasing cost. Like with GPUs!

If you go with builds #1 or #2 get the H100 instead. It will fit just fine. I sold my 16-port switch so I recently ordered my H100. I will be here by next weekend so if you can wait I'll post a pic.
My Akasa 140mm fans will mount outside the case under the hood (lots of clearance) and the H100 will mount to the top from inside the case.

Edit: Forgot.... If this will be your primary desktop system then maybe add the OCZ Agility 3 60GB SSD for your boot drive. Newegg & Micro Center - $59.99 before $10.00 MIR

Thanks for all the info.
No, this is just a cruncher. My desktop and mobile machines are Macs, of course.
That build is almost exactly what I am running on right now.. I got a different MB, all SSD, and the intel closed loop cooler
All I can say to any of the builds is WOW. I've always wanted to do a dual cpu with dual gpus. One day. If I had the cabbage for a dual cpu build like you posted above, I'd go for it.
