Advice for large computer

Alrigt, I've been planning on making a computer with a custom case, and top-of-the-line things inside. Problem is, I'll be building it two years from now. But thats not the problem. My problem is that I want to cool it without too much risk. I've already decided to lay the mobo horizontal to prevent the (most likely) heavy copper heatsink from straining the proc. But, I want a wat to get SLI's GPU's as far away from the machine as possible. Are there an risers that move SLI'd cards far enough away form the mobo as to not interfere with the north/southbridge?

Also, I want to get a sole power-supply for the GPU's, and the other PSU for everything else (HD's, optical drives, CPU, mobo...). Is there any wat to do with efectively? Since I'm thinking with the GPU's far away from the mobo, cables would need to be incredibly long to reach. Thats not friendly for the power flow form what I've heard. Any ideas on the whole thing you may have would be great.

I just noticed my "way"s turned out to be "wat"s. Forgive that. I'm typing completely blind with my hands so far away from homerow it isn't funny. That and my keyboard sucks.

You're asking us now about something you plan to build in two years? Why? Technology will have changed again by then. Intel, for example, are planning much cooler, less power-hungry chips for their next generation of CPUs, and the rest of the industry is likely to follow suit.

Mostly, I'm looking for ideas to get SLI'd GPU's far away form the motherboard. Are there any special risers for that?

Yeah, here's some advice: get SLI far away from your pocket. It's a waste of money. Get one (1) GeForce 6/7800, and save the money of the other. It'll run all games perfectly for quite a while, since it's far more powerful than you need. Then 2 years from now, with the money you saved, buy one (1) new high-end graphics card, which will have the power of the two you were planning to buy now, only just when you might need it, and, as opposed to what you get now, implements a new shader model and has other features, and probably 1 GB VRAM.

Or, buy two (or more) top-of-the-line cards, SLI them. Then in 2 months, replace them with top-of-the-line cards. Do that every two months.

you're really stupid, /comp/

No stupider than the initial question. If computers couldn't be cooled safely and effectively with off-the-shelf kit we'd all be up shit creek. And who knows what stuff will be available two years from now?

thank you >>8

Lets see if he notices he'll get poor.
