If your gonna get water cooling for the 8800's then just buy the 8800 ultra black pearl instead of normal ultras.

The Tesla (http://www.nvidia.com/object/tesla_computing_solutions.html) would be my dream PC(with a decent sound card).

it was a mere selection of components i didnt ask for any critizism on my selection.
i wouldnt touch a water cooling system from a techincal stand point seeing as ive studied for nearly 3 years on computer engineering if i was really all that bothered i would have just gone to a local website such as newegg.com or dabs.com and looked up.
i appreciate your opinion but please keep them to yourself.
[edit]
heres a proper list if you really must be malicous:

4xHitachi Deskstar 7K500 500GB
dual SLI nvidia 8800 GDDR3 768mb

Anyways, I guess I should list a dream PC:

Completely custom case built into a custom desk, designed for three monitors and engineered for performance based on the specific components in my PC.

45nm Based Core 2 Quad @ 4.6GHz (Or Higher)
Completely custom built N2 cooling system, possibly carbon nanotube technology as well.

HDMI Capture Card (can't think of it's name atm)
X-Fi Based sound card and or any other leading sound technology
5.1 z5500 Speaker system set up in perfect order around the room
8GB of DDR2 1250 Dominator RAM

From the way you call everything like, "Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme," it doesn't sound like it.

nVidia 680i SLI (http://www.nvidia.com/object/designed_by_nvidia_680i_sli.html) (The price on a motherboard like this amazes me. I should just buy the thing for the hell of it)
The reason the board is so expensive is because the chipset itself is expensive. The additional cooling required also adds to the cost and all the extra stuff tacked on too. If you think a $200 680i board is expensive then you must not have seen the Striker or the DFI 680i LT board that overclocks incedibly well. With price comes quality.
Intel Core 2 Quad (http://www.intel.com/buy/desktop/boxed-processor/embedded.htm?sSKU=BX80562Q6600&fmlid=2) (Why pay almost twice as much for so little more? Screw the extreme)
Because it has an unlocked multiplier, aka you can overclock it to hell and back if you want. Also for people who don't overclock, every little bit of extra speed helps.
GeForce 8800 Ultra (http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_8800.html) (#1)
GeForce 8800 Ultra (http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_8800.html) (#2)
Wait...so you just griped about "paying twice as much for so little more" and then proceed to select 2 8800 Ultras when they are more or less overclocked GTXs?
Seagate Barracuda® 7200.11 (http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=barracuda-7200-11-sata-3-0-gb/s-1-tb-hard-drive-st31000340as&vgnextoid=0732f141e7f43110VgnVCM100000f5ee0a0aRCRD&vgnextchannel=47f281f8c0f43110VgnVCM100000f5ee0a0a RCRD&reqPage=Model) (1tb, single drive)
Raidmax Aurora 580 (http://buyraidmax.com/product.php?pid=125) (because I already have it and it's a dual-rail 12v)
This is a dream components thread, not a "post what I have" thread. 580 watts? Only 2 rails? Snore.
Kingston 2x1gb DDR2-800 (http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX6400D2LLK2_2GN.pdf) (meh, if you have any better suggestions for DDR2-800, let me know)
Fuck DDR2-800, go for some OCZ DDR3 at PC3-14400 speeds (http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=41099) and a board that will utilize it.

Still looking for a worth-the-money DVD+-R and cooling system, I'll edit this post later...
Here I come for you. Bam! (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,2139095,00.asp) and Bam! (http://www.crazypc.com/products/h2o-120_premium-9378.html)

FACE MACHINED!

And for those pussies out there afraid of watercooling, I've literally had water running over my video card while it was on and it's fine. I've run watercooling for almost 2 years now and the worst that happened was my dumbfuck brother not correctly mounting a waterblock on a GPU and fucking it up, and that didn't even relate to "water cooling inside a system running with electronic sensitive equipment" frying my component. Especially considering I am running Distilled water with with a non-conductive antifreeze/fungicide, I think the worst that could happen is a leak springing and me somehow beind completely clueless and not noticing it, allowing water to pool up on a PC and deforming it. Not going to happen btw.

As for me, I'd get the usual assortment of binned-CPUs/GPUs, probably I would go for a Dual Quad Core Intel V8 Platform motherboard with an X38 chipset for SLI sex and dual Xeons/C2E QX6850s. Dual watercooled 8800 Ultras (since I'm not being frugal).

I'd probably build my case from the ground up, have the parts laser cut, etc. It would be sexy and expensive, probably would use an Aluminum frame to keep the weight down with a stainless steel/copper exterior to be uber sexy. It would be designed to support watercooling to it's fullest, with ample space for dual 120.3 or 120.4 radiators, one for each side of my TEC cooling loop. I'd get myself one of these (http://www.elx.com.au/item/ELS0009) (except longer mb) and position my sound card in it's own separate internal enclosure that is as free of EM radiation as possible via shielding. I'd replace the Op-amps on the XFI so that it would sound uber sexy as well. My monitors would be a set of 3 19" monitors as well as a Matrox TripleHeadToGo for the sake of being simple. No need to have 3 30" Cinema Displays when most games won't be able to take advantage of it xD.

8 gigs of ram, a 2 kW PSU, the other usual Dream PC components. 2 or so Raptors in Raid as boot drives, 4 or so Baracuda 7200.11s, etc. Nothing special there.

But more importantly, my 2lb bag of random Asus accessories (http://www.petrastechshop.com/asacgrbag2lb.html) came in today ^____^. I got an SLI bridge, a firewire and USB breakout bracket, a 680i Northbridge fan for a Striker/other high end board, a lb or so of DVI --> VGA adapters and about 10-15 SATA/4 pin Molex ---> SATA Power cables. <3.

There are so many things wrong with that post...
The first comment was not "wow, this is expensive", it was "as a noob to hardware, motherboards only cost this much?"
Second, all of the rest involves the fact that maybe, just maybe, my dream is somewhat in the realm of reality. Hell, My "dream PC" could be some random beige box with crap from the 90's in it.
Moving on, the Ultra's may just be "overclocked GTXs", but they don't cost twice as much (Unless you've found a GTX for $300, in which case, please guide me in my search), and when I'm looking to get two cards in this dream of mine, the difference in price really doesn't matter any more.
Again, my dream may involve using pretty good stuff that I already have. It's my dream.
Last comment, yeah, it be great to get some top-end DDR3 RAM, but my dream involves purchasing an nVidia board, the best of which only supports up to DDR2-800.
You want my real dream PC? I'll be back in 24 hours, I'm off to find the greatest hardware to ever not yet be released...

I'm planning to buy this around January when all of it reaches a total of about 1K or more.

btw, I added some stuff and didn't do the total. So, its innaccurate by a couple hundred at least.

Don't get a koolance water cooling system, or anything koolance, get a swiftech. For the 8800's, get a swiftech stealth.

OK, thanks. I have that info. Could you give me facts? Dimensions, even? Its a couple of hundred of bucks I'm not just going to buy swiftech because "swiftech > koolance".

I'm not saying you are wrong, but please, back up your claim.

Koolance's waterblocks/cooling kits are just all around horrible. Especially the fact that they use aluminum in their radiators instead of copper.
