Is this going to be a dedicated folding machine? If so, I would go with a $30 case (local if possible to save shipping), and just use the stock cooler. It seems like overclocking doesn't give a huge impact in folding from what i've heard.

Also if it's dedicated, you can pick up a ps3 for $500 or less. I think they are on par with a q6600 for folding, not positive though.

Why would you build a PC just for folding?

I'm looking at your sig rig and I just don't get it...

...... why dont you just buy a ps3 and fold with that.. much more effective than a quad..

I'd put that quad in your rig, and make that Celly a folder.

It's great to have a dedicated rig (I will soon, too) just for folding, but I'd personally worry about keeping my main rig in the fast lane, moreso than my folding rigs.

im wanting to do that with my celly. but i just putting this out there for some one to see that you can build a cheap folding rig with a quad

I think the AsRock 4CoreDualVSTA would be a better motherboard since it also supports Quad cores and is cheaper. Plus (if you're crazy), you can put in two X18xx/x19xx cards in for even more folding.

Then you could run it with no case or with a cheap ATX one. They shouldn't cost much more.

edit: plus you can use old DDR RAM, if you have any
