The stock heatsink won't handle the 960T once it is unlocked(and this one definitely unlocks and hits 3.6GHz when unlocked too). I want to put something like a Xigmatek Gaia.

And the current case won't fit a 120mm tower style heatsink. Plus I want to keep the current server up while building the new one.

Its alright, I've been so busy at work lately anyway that I won't have time to sit down and build it all in one shot, I'll just be piecing it together over the next few weeks. I'm setting a goal of having it up and running by December 1st.
