Just a quick note/suggestion - you really need some fans in front of the boards, to blow a bit of air over them, especially the chipsets. Also, try getting some standoffs and rising your boards maybe an inch off the desk, that way you can also get air flow underneath. The underside actually gets pretty hot on those systems and recommend you also get airflow underneath...

 

Looks really nice! Three 4P units all stacked up. :)
