How does it look.

Oh, and the thing on the pump is a piece of galvanized steel and a piece of foam to help with EMI (no clue if it matters) and vibration.

The pump is held down with it's base it came with that is comprised of the base and 4 pieces of the foam that you see on the pump and a piece of mousepad to help with vibration.

The setup is as follows

danner mag 3 pump --> dtek white water block --> Ford Econoline Van Heatercore --> danner mag 3 pump

The tubing is 1/2" ID clearflex 60, and I'm using zerex super coolant.

Looks good, except:

You need to cut out bigger holes for your radiator fans.

The radiator dimensions are 9.75" tall, and 6" wide.

On the chenbro genie, for the 3.5" bay on the bottom where the floppy is I had to cut the bottom bay out so the radiator would fit. The small 3.5" cage comes out so it wasn't hard to cut.

Does the zerex super coolant stink as bad as water wetter?

I had a radiator that big as well, but I took it back and got a smaller one. I still think I'll have to take out both the harddrive and teh floppy cages, so I was probably better sticking w/ the original huge one. Oh well, what can you do?

I may add a video card block later, but doubtful for a Northbridge block.
