Thanks Aero. These look promising, but unfortunately they are sold out of all the good color temps. :/Might wanna check out luxeon star leds too. May save ya an assload of cash. I use their leds for other projects. They are blinding bright and spectrum specific. Few bucks each instead of 40 and different wattages. NASA uses them as well.
Thank you too Positivity! Would you mind recommending a driver that'd handle the nine CXA3070s, and the upgrade to nine CXA3590s? I'm fine with either 1 driver per chip, or 1 driver per 3 chips -- whichever's better.http://www.futurelightingsolutions.com/en/Search.aspx?dsNav=Ntk:PlainTextSearch|Inventronics|3|-P_FlsView|1|1|,Ny:True,Ro:0,Nea:True,N:4294886037-4294913983
heres a good source for inventronics drivers. The 1.05a drivers look to be a good match for the cree cobs. They have a higher voltage range that would allow you to upgrade to cxa 3590 if you wanted.

Everyone's being so helpful by sending these sweet lists of parts. Now I'd love if someone could recommend specific parts for the design shown in the OP. I have a ~$400 budget left over after buying the chips. I still need to get the heatsinks, cooling fans, drivers, hardware, and any other parts required.
Specific BOM recommendations here will be overwhelmingly helpful.
