Only requirements
1. Quality of Manufacture

You plan on running 2 video cards?

Which ones? Then we know if you need crossfire, or sli.

(You making another folding rig?)

Have one cooler Master case that still does'nt have a MB in it.
I bought 2 last time because Newegg was running a big sale.
Plus I have an unused Vista-32 cd/license, so I I said to my self. " self what the hell"
have an extra 160 G. HD , wont need a DVD.

So a Q6600, 2gigs of ram , 2 9800GTX+ ;
one core feeds the GPU's 3 cores for SMP should net at least 10K PPD from one Box.

wont be SLI
each card will run a stand alone GPU2 client

And don't forget to get a psu from the certified list: http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone_build_psu.html

The corsair 1000 should work nicely.

I think a P45 motherboard will work better if not running SLI since it doesn't produce as much heat as the 780i motherboards. If you ever plan on adding another 9800GTX+, the 780i motherboards would be a better option as it would allow you to run 3 dual slot video cards, and a 1000 watt power supply would probably be enough to power all of them.

I noticed that the 9800GX2 video cards are now selling for $300 and provide performance close to that of 2 9800GTXs but for a lower price.

Vista is on DVD so you will need a DVD optical drive to install it.
