So after a little debate this system has been built!
I'll be posting some pictures, information and benchmark results.
2x Corsair H90 (push/pull configuration)
2x Intel E5-2687W 3.1ghz / 8 core Xeon
Asus Z9PE-D8 WS
32GB DDR3
2TB WD Black
64GB Sandisk SSD (SSD Cache)
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
NZXT Switch 810
Asus GTX650 (needed support for dual 2560x1600)

I must say the case is a delight to work with, it feels a little cheap here and there but they did a good job. The H90s wouldn't mount perfectly but I easily managed to pinch the top panel of the case between the fan and radiator. I decided to do a push/pull as this system will be utilized, 100% cpu usage across all cores for 30+ days at a time and was previously warned that the VRM's may overheat. So, the fans are intake setup to blow directly across the VRM heatsinks and the rear fan does a fine job at expelling the warm air. Under prime95 fully heat soaked, no core hit 60c.
The extra 140mm fans used were the Arctic Cooling F14-PWM, I have the F12's on my coolit currently and really like how quiet they are and pretty good at least in a push/pull configuration.
I could not get the cpu's to hold 3.5ghz all cores active, however they do hold 3.1ghz perfectly well.
Pretty snappy machine!
