Notes

Phase I:
Primary assembly with 1 VDA
PSU FAILURE BEFORE OS LOAD
- ARMA from eVGA (Thanks Chris)
Stability & Load testing

Phase II:
Added VDA's 2 & 3, SLI Enabled
Folding Tests - MAX for 1 hour (additional air flow for VDA's required)
Gaming - >4 hours of Batman: Arkham Origins - PSU FAILURE

----------
Zotac GTX780 (x3) - Nice cards, reasonably priced, but limited to 3 units for SLI per manufacturer.
Noctua NF-P12 (x8) - Good airflow, silent running. Am wishing for a better color combination...
eVGA NEX1500 - I am having my doubts about the stability and reliability of this line, as now 2 PSU's have failed within 60 days with no apparent cause or warning.
----------
UPDATE:
Switched to Corsair AX PSU's, all has been smooth and happy

This is the first Xeon build I've seen on here. Pretty decent!
