My future build that i expect to run the loop through:
mobo: Abit IP35-Pro
cpu: E8500 or E8600
case: Silverstone TJ-09 with Radsupport09 (http://www.modernopc.com/store...info&products_id=1202)

For my video card, I am expecting to get the 8800GTS and will just live with its air solution.

My goals:
- Quiet system + performance

CPU block: Dtek fuzion v2
Pump: Laing DDC w/ Petra'sTech DDCT-01s Top Combo (9W vs 18W -- will these cause cyclone in EK RES?)
T-line: 1/2" OD T-Fitting (for 1/2" and 7/16" ID Tubing)
radiator: HW Labs Black Ice GT Stealth 240 vs Swiftech MCR220?
Tube: 7/16" ID (5/8" OD) Masterkleer General Purpose Clear PVC Tubing
Fans: Yate Loon D12SM
Reservoir: either EK-RES150 Rev.2 Multi-Option Reservoir or Swiftech microres... not sure

What do you all think?

My 1 concern about the reservoir is that I am reading that a powerful pump will cause the cyclone effect in those cylindric reservoirs. I am hoping the 9W version of the pump is light enough such that it wont cause that effect. If it does, i might opt to get the 18W version and just go with the Swiftech micro res.

Thanks for your comments

Well, if your wanting quiet, go with the Thermochills.. You can get a much quieter fan and get the same performance. Course those radsupports won't work with the thermochills. And THIS (http://www.modernopc.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=73_111&products_id=1202) is the correct link. As far as the tubular res's you can buy the anti-cyclone or just use a credit card (or some other plastic wedged in there)

Of course the microres is a good choice too.

Now, if you wanted a better performer top go with the XSPC one, the one with the built in res is top performer right now.

thanks bigdaddy.

I'm gonna go with what you suggested for the pump top. As far as the radiator is concerned, I would love to go with the thermochill but like you said those radsupports will not support it. There's 2 Black Ice 240 Stealth variants. One is a single pass, and the other is a dual pass. For some reason the single pass is slightly more expensive than the dual pass. I'm leaning towards th dual pass radiator.

I emailed Silverstone asking if they have tested their radsupports with the MCR220 / Thermochill, but I am willing to bet they didnt.

sorry to raise a dead thread but kyosho you should take a look at http://forum.ncixus.com/forums/index.php?mode=showthread&forum=116&threadid=1582134&pagenumber=1&subpage=1, I am considering a tj10 and I measured today (microcenter) the pa120.3 wont fit unless you dont care about the fans sticking out over the top of the motherboard but I think the mcr320 will work (if not with the radsupports then make your own http://forums.techgage.com/showthread.php?t=1679).
