Heh JSU that box is quite usefull with phasechange. Drew over EOCF build one to and uses with his DD unit. Best part about it you dont have to condence proof your MB or VC. That's a major problem with phase since even if you do good job on condensation proofing with -100c temps the whole MB not just by the socket gets quite cold and you can get condensation very far from socket. The most B**ch is the pci and AGP slots a bit water there spell death for hardware. With chill box it's just so much esier. Just stick evap inside and you done. Also you get the effect of cooling the whole sys like NB, memory controler,ext... = very important for stable overclock.
About which board to get consider this factors. P4p800se is naturaly suports ct-479 and does quite well. The only issues you might have is keeping PAT enabled with it. It's enabled if you boot with 200fsb but then if you have an ATI card you need to boot @201 FSB to lock agp/pci bus. So p4p800se makes a great choice if you plan to use Nvidia card since there is no problems with locking agp/pci with it. It's also 1/2 cheaper them P4C800e-deluxe.
Now P4c800e -deluxe is 875 chipset board and PAT comes natural to them. You dont have to boot @ 200 to keep it. Also i belive it donthave agp/pci lock problem with ATI but if im wrong on that one you can just boot @201 fsb
and that will lock it. People here say that in general its a better and faster board. But expensive.
I got great results with P4P800se and i think it's just ezier to setup, i have not ever had the other one so i cant realy say anything about the setup. So whatever rings your bell JSU they are both great boards.
Have i summerd up major factors guys? Correct me please if i missed something important
