First off, thanks for the reply. I changed the settings as you suggested and I did notice a bit of an improvement. Do you still recommend the Gigabyte G31 board for pcie cards?

WRT power supplies, jonnyguru's tests of the Antec Signature SG650 show extremely low ripple (under 16mV for all rails at full load). One caveat is that this PS's fan is PWM controlled - I don't know if that would add an appreciable amount of electrical noise or not. silentpcreview tested the unit as well. I'm not sure if this is better than your currently recommended PS, as I was unable to find tests for it.

I've noticed there are a few options in acrylic PC cases available; I wonder how they would do for resonance damping vs aluminum.

Finally, has anyone tried using carbon fiber, ERS "paper," or TI Shield on the components of a cMP? TI shield, in particular, seems to be recommended for just about everything by some of the folks in Tweaker's.
