I would've asked the company for 7000 then built a server quality machine. Throw 24 GB ram, 8-12 cores @ 4+ GHz, watercooling etc around there.
Or 7 graphics cards if his simulation program supports them. Either way, you should've taken the 7000. D:

OP: Apple products are more a fashion accessory than anything else. Many people who have iphones are ditsy blondes, rather than people like us who buy for the apps etc.

I must say, the way that CPU cooler looks just blew my ****ing brain out. (I guess I'd never seen Megahalems in action before though)
Starting overclocking now, Gigabyte BIOS' always strikes me as being odd. Getting used to it and doing a quick test at 3GHz now.
Ive only just started the overclocking mate, not got anywhere near 4GHz yet. That being said it would be completely irrelevant if I had - your system will be completely different especially as this has 6 DIMMs.
As it is a workstation im going for absolute stability here. Although the likelihood of it being stressed for 24hours solid is really low (my system was averaging 70% CPU usage) this is what Im using as a base line for a stable overclock here.

3508MHz stable atm. Was having some Vdroop issues until I found Gigabytes handy little compensator.
Not sure how much further I can get it, the RAM is really V hungry and its spiking the temps more than Id like - hot cores are maxing at 70C in Prime95.
