    I've PMd some people and told them than i'm not gonna take those sossamans after all.
    There is quite reasonable explanation: My dual clovertown build needs an mobo, mem and second waterblock. And those things cost wayyy more than this sossaman build would cost but since i don't have an job or rich parents, I'd rather get my everyday comp working (yes the dual clover one) and then think about getting other crunchers.
    That's all.

    My best guess is this:
    Motherboard: Grab from Centrix for $28.66 shipped to you as they are close to you in Calif.
    HS: $20.00 plus shipping($5.00-6.00) from me to you.
    CPU's: From Martijn; App $75.00 and shipping($15-20 I'd guess from Belgium to Calif with cheap shipping)
    backplates: $2.95 plus shipping from performance PC's($app $8.00 total)
    Total of app $158.00..
