Hate the buggy Nvidia boards I would use a use an Intel chipset and a single GTX285.

Haha, this dude is rich lol, why not buy the new gtx295? I heard good reviews on it. Works as good as 2 gtx 280s.

That's what I am wondering too...

Why not a GTX295? I have one and I get me soon another one.

I also recommend to buy Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition 965 Nehalem 3.2GHz
Instead the QX9770 and for the $500 extra stick with the i7 board, DDR3 rams,
1 GTX295 (Is anyway better then 2x GTX260).

Well how much do want to spend or how much is the system worth?
I spend around $2k.
