They will call or e-mail you saying that you selected an unneeded cost and that they will drop you down to a single graphics card liquid cooling. You may be able to request a plug though. I'm not sure.

Looks like you want to buy just one card form DS and what to add the second card yourself. Very well, NP, one of many reason why I love DS, you just let them know what you want to do and they will do it, but just so you know I believe they are using quick-release valves now and as you know the add a second card you just need to connect the first one straight to the second one then take the out flow of the first card and put it in the second card, with the quick-release that will be very easy, so they don't really need to do anything but I'm sure they will be happy to throw in the connector piece in there for you, DS is great like that, Just call Sarah at 1-866-817-8676 Extension: 115 and she will set you up

HAF cools better and HDD's are super easy to intall-1tb takes forever to search and scan. 2x500GB's would be better

1. The EVGA classified is better than the rampage 2 but for you a EVGA 3xSLI(regular) should suffice.
2. 3 One will have lower temps. Its pretty uncommon though. EDIT: Rudeness again  Edited by Mikey14 - 06 Jul 2009 at 12:37pm |

No the liquid cooling will remove the air cooling. Just like you cant heavy a CPU both Air cooled and LC'd.

well first off all you don't need a rampage or classified, the mobo I picked for you will do just as good for you, there is no reason for you to frop money on things you don't need.
second for your HDD1 you want a fast driver, a 1TB is too big to scan and no point in going with raid 0 on 2 x 500GB. instead go with 1 x 500GB now for HDD1 and upgrade to a ssd next year or go with an ssd now. I thought you mentioned wanting to install the second gpu yourself, if you are not gonna be doing it then you need to pick the dual loop with 2 cards. |

with the HAF there is no need for blow holes the case is open pretty much all around, its got fans blowing in and out. for the 950si they already have a case mode to add 2 more fans.
you never answered me,what resolution are you going to be gaming at? |
