Talking Opteron 144 cabne project

Hi. i have had pc`s now since, well since 286`s came out.... i have tried overclocking before but nothing serious.....

But ive just managed to get hold of an opteron 144 cabne, so it would be rude not to overclock it pimprig style.....

The set-up im in the process of buying is.....

Opteron 144 1.8g CABNE Processer
Dfi LANPARTY sli DR expert
Geforce 7800gt (256mb)
Swiftech H20 120 premium watercooling kit
Type R blue 550w PSU
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 160gig sata harddrive.......

ive bought lots of LED fans, 1 UV tube, 2 blue neons, UV reactive blue IDE, sata and floppy cables ( all braided), and a dremel.

I have two things i want advice on.

1) what memory to get.......im going for 400mhz memory, but im not sure which to get
2)What case to get.....

as for the case, i want plenty of room for the water kit, plus room for the lights......i want a nice workable canvas to modify, (eg. i want to put my own windows in), but it must look stylish.

any ideas?

when im done i will put pics and specs on this site....
thankyou for your time people

I would hold of on the expert as of right now. Many people including myself are having some problems with the boards. Random freezes and BSOD.

Personally, I own an SLI-DR, and couln't be happier. My friend has one, also, but with an Opteron 148 CAB2E @ 2.8GHz 1.5v

Edit:

Also, get the OCZ Gold XTC RAM kit, 2x512MB or 2x1GB.

thankx. i agree with you after reading other forums, all that is said is that its unsupported but very possible.

will stick with the DFI board.

The XTC have a better designed heatspreader, with a honeycomb pattern to allow more airflow. I dunno if you can get them @ DDR600, however. Take a look at the EL PC4800 Platinum Elite memory, as it comes with TCCD chips and can run GUARANTEED at DDR600 with 2.5-4-10-4 timings. I've had mine as high as DDR640 with the same timings, running more than stable enough to benchmark. I probably could have taken it higher, but my CPU didn't like being at 2.85 to begin with.
