If you keep it up your rig will look closer and closer to the setup I'm going for.

Ok guys total update to system

AX1200
H100
i7-3930k
OCZ 120Gb Vert3
Gskill 2400 RipX 4x4GB
MSI Big Bang X79
2 HD7970's (eventually 2 more for quad but I only have enough BTC to buy 2 when they release)

I have not gotten the MOBO or HD7970's yet. Glad I didn't get the UD7 like I wanted to! But it worked out good. But that's the new build. Still undecided on case.

That was quick. I'm also going 7970.

By expanders do you mean physical boards or simply the cables that plug into the slot so you can move the card around? I would use those instead of physical boards. I don't know of any case built for PC usage that has 14 slots or can use physical expander boards for PCI-E. Course, you could always use this case and simply water cool some of the cards.

Yea the ribbon things not the boards. Yea I would like to water cool. But then i dont make as much money if I have to buy all the watercooling. Its kinda nice I am up to 58$ a day now mining!
