One stop shopping at petra's just ordered the elite kit with one of those fan-dangled cylinder style res:

D-TEK FuZion CPU Waterblock
Laing DDC-3.2 Pump w/Petra'sTech DDCT-01s Delrin Top
Swiftech MCR320-QP Triple 120mm Radiator
Yate Loon D12SM-12
7/16" ID (5/8" OD) Masterkleer Tubing
1/2" OD Polypropylene T-Fitting
Stainless Steel Worm-Drive Hose Clamps
Danger Den Machined Delrin Fillport/T-Line Cap
Swiftech MCB-120 RadBox
Pentosin G11 (UV blue) Coolant Additive
EK-RES250 Rev.2 Multi-Option Reservoir

Going on a P5ND2-SLI board with a P4-D 830 CPU... Wondering what my OC's will be... Currently @3.6GHz

Currently the processor is lapped, any need to lap the D-Tek blocks? I would think no but open to opinions...

My old loop is a TT Bigwater... served it's purpose for ~1 year so decided to try something new

you don't need to lap any waterblock.

I started looking at my case and I think I realized, that a 320 style rad (or any triple fan) is not likely going to fit very well (certainly not internally). So I am wondering if anyone has some recommendations. I have been looking at the silverstone TJ07 which while nice seems to be pretty popular but I don't really want to spend ~$300 on a case. I mean I could but I would rather spend less. $300 just seems excessive to me to be spending on a case w/out power supply.

I am kind of liking the sunbeam Tuniq2:

It looks like with the inverted setup it will favor the rad being on the top of the case and since the power supply is on the bottom there is no fight for room with it. If anyone has any suggestions or even a site other than xoxide that has a good case selection I am open to it.
