Hey Guys, my next/upcoming build will be a 12 core behemoth housed inside of a Mountain Mods Ascension. The Board that will host this system is the Evga SR-2, housing dual Xeon X5650s. Everything will be water cooled (CPUs, GPU, Possibly NB/SB and mosfets) with dual loops. Rough estimated cost on this bad boy: 4.5G
