I say watercooling... getting a second rig for just overclocking would be a complete waste of money... instead, get better cooling, and try getting 5Ghz on that e8500!
w/c is to much $$$$$$$$$$ you got a very good cooler? buy a bigger monitor a faster hd.
do you NEED the extra rig? why not get a Q9550 and OC that and get a 4870X2 and OC that... your PC has a lot of life left in it for upgrades

or you could go for broke, sell your current rig, and go for i7...

why not just upgrade and if your happy sell off your old rig and buy an i7 x58 rig
I would get a T240HD monitor, and maybe a second video card!
T240HD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...280&Tpk=T240HD Look at all of those hook-ups it has in hte back. Plus it's really clear and has a 5ms response time. That's what I would do.
or get a bigger monitor maybe a couple veloci's in raid 0, vista ultimate 64 bit/with more ram

yup... alot cheaper than a monitor... actually, you could get both a monitor and w/c with around $400-500 (If that is within your budget..)
