Ok, originally i was going to go for the quad sli barebones system scan are doing, but after reading reviews, it doesnt really seem worth it, there are lots of problems with the cards and i'd ideally like 2 free pci slots on my motherboard, which i cant get with that setup. Im still looking to buy from scan, but think im going to go with either 2 x 7900GT 512's or 2 x 7900GTX 512's, an X-Fi Fatal1ty soundcard, a Sparkle FSP 700w PSU and 2 x 150GB Raptors, this is to go with the Tai-Chi case, 4GB OCZ Platimum memory, FX-55, and watercooling i already have, so can anyone suggest a motherboard for this setup??
Here are the rough prices i have so far:
System 1
2 x 7900GT
1 x 700w PSU
1 x X-Fi
1 x Motherboard
2 x Raptors
£1320
System 2
2 x 7900GTX
1 x 700w PSU
1 x X-Fi
1 x Motherboard
2 x Raptors
£1520
System 3
2 x 1GB 7900GX2 (Quad SLi)
1 x X-Fi
2 x Raptors
£1675
Any thoughts or suggestions? If i changed the HD's to 300GB SATAII Drives that would knock about £210 of each price, what do you guys think?

and reasons for the choice
i dont know whether the GTX warrants the extra £200 its going to cost over the GT, i mean on paper in comparison you have:
the chipset fan shouldnt be too much of a problem because im probably going to water cool the cpu and chipset. The only thing is it appears scan dont stock DFI motherboards, which is a shame
