Yea i know it's another one, i have read enough of these by now that i shouldnt have to post one, but i am anyway lol. so far i have everything picked out for a simple enough cpu only loop, but by the time i get everything for it i may toss in a 5870x2 full cover block as well.

http://www.petrastechshop.com/12yalod1redl.html <- lots of these fans since they go with my HAF932 and the blue low speed yates im already using
im planning to mount everything up in my HAF932, and i havent decided if i want one or two MCR320s yet, though it would be np since i can just stack em up in the top. i choose 7/16" ID tubing on recommendation from another WCer over at anandtech, since i dont mind tossing my tubing every time i take the loop apart, and the 7/16" ID on the 1/2" barbs with zip ties will probably disintegrate the tubing before it leaks on me lol. with the consideration that i want to add at least one full cover block later, possibly 2 if i get a 5870 to 3way with my x2 around christmas, does everything else seem in order? i plan to mount the res right above my BD-ROM and my DVD/RW drives, and use the built in fillport mount on the 932 to fill through (already have a DD fillport i got at microcenter today lol). loop will go pump>rad>cpu>gpu(s)>res>pump, with the pump at the bottom of the case, the res up in the middle, the radiators at the top, and the rest in its respective places you would expect of a standard ATX motherboard. ooh, and i picked masterkleer based on the recommendation in my other thread, but i have seen all sorts of discussion over which tubing clouds worse than others, and if there is something better for this than the masterkleer, preferably in red (translucent, doesnt have to be UV), that would be awesome. my whole system has a red blue and black theme to it, with my EP45-UD3P and G.Skill ram rocking the blue with blue lighting from my yates, and the top and front rocking the red HAF932 fans, and the entire inside is gonna get a red powder coating after i pay for this, my GPUs, and an SSD

with this, im hoping to at least decrease my max load temps on my Q9650, if not get it past 4.2GHz, and OC my GPUs as well, which i have been reluctant to do as of yet since the stock fans on these things sound like :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing jet engines @ 100% usually
