Second loop for graphics cards. How's this look?

I know a BIP3 and 50Z is enough to handle a CPU and GPU but what's xtreme about "enough" :D Plus having 2 loops makes switching hardware easier as two blocks aren't tied together.

Current setup:

As you can see the case is a huge size issue here. My plan was to:

BIP2 off radbox in back with 2x yate loons
MP-1 on x1900xt
DD mag II LE

Cheap and effective. That was until I read a post by Sneaky where he said the mag II LE "sucks massive donkey penis" or something like that and that he was sending it back to DD ASAP. Is it really that bad? D5 is 2x the price :(

Also does anyone know when cooltechnica will be getting the AM2 mounting plates for the MP5 blocks? I have the pro LE block and don't want to get a junky TDX or apogee for my AM2 setup.

BIP 120.3 is excessive for just a CPU, and just a single core CPU at that. I honestly think you're best off including the GPU in the same loop.

Separate loops is good if you're running a dual core massively overclocked and then Crossfire or SLI, probably massively overclocked/Vmodded as well.

and even then its generally better overall to just run 2 good pumps on a single rad, and even that is overkill.
