questions on mu config

you don't need liquid cooling but if you want a quite PC then LC is the way go to, however most of your noise comes from the GPUs so they will need to be LCed also ands that will be costly.

if you are going with air then go with Noctua NH-U12P, if you gonna go LC then go with frostbite, otherwise don't bother.

are you sure your resolution on the 21" monitor is in the 1200 x 1000 range?

your PSU is suppose to handle your GPUs, and your GPUs depend on your resolution, so in short, a 750w will support 2 GPUs, 2 GPUs 2 will handle a 24" monitor with 1900 x 1200 resolution, if you think you will get a 30" monitor with 2560 x 1600 resolution, then you will need 3 GPUs and that will require a 1000w PSU.

check the review section for pics of the HAF, but I don't recall a HAF painted inside other then black.

now assuming your monitor native resolution is 1200 x 1000, this is what you need:

now if your monitor's resolution is at 1900 x 1200 then you will need 2 x 275 GTX to max out settings in games, otherwise a single 275 will handle what you got.

thats the same thing I'm thinking and one card is all that is needed for 1600 x 1200
