    About the reservoir I was going after 250ml because of the looks as you say, there is a lot of space inside the Little Devil, a 150ml maybe looks too small .
    Any suggestion of which extras to buy for the reservoir? I saw that there are many different types of internal tubes available for that reservoir (with holes in the acrylic for example)

    Maybe, as you say, I should go with the Coolgate rads instead... I think I'm between Black Ice SR1 and the Coolgate 480

    As for the blocks, I'm not sure, the only thing I know for sure is that I'm going to buy the new XSPC Raystorm, I'm in love with it, I love the idea to fit 1/2" - 3/4" compression fittings without any worries and also the looks .
    I'm not a big fan of leds, but maybe I would replace the blue leds for something else... I think It will look nice

    Blocks for the GPU's is where I'm lost, I still don't know which graphic cards to choose, I was thinking maybe stay with 6970 and then, next year, do the big jump to a nice SLI or Crossfire setup.

    I like the looks of EK blocks, I'd choose something with black and white acetal probably, or maybe order some custom backplate
    Suggestions?

    Hi again!

    - Suprisingly short on data for the fans. I hope they work well. A quick google search revealed that thy put up around 50 cfm

    - Agreed on the reservoir, allthough I am a big fan of the Bitspower Z Multitube because of it's simplicity. There are tiny nozzles in the bottom of the res to prevent cyclones in the res. Top notch! However, I don't see them on aquatuning.

    - About the rads; the Coolgates have a clear advantage since it har more in/outlets for whatever purpose you want. It also allows you to put two coolgates in parallel in the bottom of the V8. The fins spaceing and the materials used in both Black Ice and Coolagetes are both quite similar AFAIK, and they are both tareted against mid speed fans such as your NZXT fans.

    - XSPC Raystorm is a nice block, indeed! I would have gone for white LED's and white tubeing to match up Maybe paint the top and bracket white? My favourite will tho allways be EKWB Supreme HF Cu (Full Nickel).

    - Yes, buy a Cayman based GPU, 6970 and upgrade when the new 7-series ships. Put a EK White Acetal+Nickel on there, it looks so damn nice! The custom backplate is a nice idea.
