One too many ale's and......

How much rad would you guys recommend for the two cpu's at say 3.6Ghz?

Could I get by with a 14.2?
 
Stick with 360 rads, the fans are so much better, in fact there are effectively zero good 140mm fans really.

I'd go for a 120.3 minimum tbh, but you might want to throw an extra 120.1 on the back
 
I'm cooling my two X5650s @4GHz with a 360 rad (Alphacool UT60) and it's doing just fine. Temps with the fans on lowish (about 1/4) are mid 70s and full on, mid 60s.
 
I already have a 14.2 and 14.3 that I used to cool the AMD rig, trying to reuse as much as possible to keep cost down.

Trying to get it up and running for <£500(cash outlay) with as much reuse of parts I have as possible.

Do you guys know how well ATI 79xx cards do in seti?
 
Then you should be fine, I had 140.3 in my P80 with the SR-2 you may just need to run the fans a bit faster depending on your overclock :)

ATi on Seti, can't remember offhand, although I have read they are pretty good now with the OpenCL apps and people hitting 35K RAC on a 7950

The eVGA SuperNOVA NEX1500 Classified has all the connections required for a multi GPU SR-2 setup - and, at 1500W, it'll handle pretty much anything you put in it in the future. Not cheap at ~£300 but saves faffing around with two PSUs.

I just read a customer comment on another component seller site about that psu and the first one the guy had exploded and damaged a lot of his equipment, he then had it replaced and the 2nd ones fan bearing failed. He didn't get any compo out of evga either for his damaged gear.
