So anyhow, in my previous post about my board/graphics card not booting. Upon further inspection and advice from here, turns out the 8800gt works fine but the board needs to be sent back for an rma.
Well I don't like when boards die and even worse, I hate writing on my laptop..
So I'm going to fleebay my p35ds3r and pick up another motherboard to watercool.
Since I want a high fsb and stability, it has to be something decent. I was looking at two boards specifically. P35c was able to push my xeon 3210 to a stable 3520mhz (440 fsb)
The two I am looking at are both DFI
DFI LP LT P35 T2R P35 $179

DFI LANPARTY DK P35-T2RS P35 $139

Is the $179 overkill?.. I'm only using 1 8800gt card and to be honest, I'm not sure 1394 and bertstein sound card is worth $40 for me.
Anyhow I'm pretty sure I can throw a mcw30 on the sb, but what about the nb and mosfet?
I don't want to hear that nb/sb watercooling is overkill, because with 4 radiators, 3 pumps, a dd hardrive block, 2 aqua pc ram coolers, ek resevoir, and 3 loops, it's too late for me at this point ;)
