How's this? I haven't included any monitors or anything because I'm no good with those but maybe someone will be able to reccomend with the £890 change :D

Edit: Wait.. Was this a joke? :p And did I get tricked :(

could you up the budget a little bit to squeeze this lot in?
i think you'll agree that this offers fantastic value for money at £30,241.01

if someone could help me choose what watercooling fixtures and fittings you need, that would be great. i figure you'll need a 7 loop system for all 4 graphics cards, two processors and motherboard block.
all of those things chuck out a lot of heat, so i figured a quad rad for each component in push/pull should just about cope with it all

i had to split it up into several packages because it was too expensive for 1 package :eek:
