im really wanting to go water cooled, but worried that all my stuff creates so much heat it wont make that much of a difference in noise....

i was thinking of having two radiaotrs/heatcores (not sure which yet) one on top of case, the other in bottom front. what if the pump went to the one on top of case, then to the cpu, then to the nb/gpu blocks. (so the water would be alot cooler there).

so like having a radiator in normal setup, adn one thrown in the middle of the loop as well.

i realize you would need a beefy pump for this, i was thinking ehiem 1250? also for radiators something from teh autostore like 2 single-pass heatercores as big as i can fit in each spot....

2 heatercores should be fine, if you can get a large heatercore like 9x6, that would be even better. as for teh pump, the ehiem is okey, but the mag3 (cheaper too) has better head and would give u better flow. OR you can try the mcp600 which is similar.

That routing would work fine. You'd definitely want a decent pump like Korndog suggested. Mag3s and MCP600s are pretty good. You don't NEED two rads, but it would work pretty well.

That would work pretty good actually. The MCP600 would be a good choice for a pump. And I suggest going with two 1987 Chevette heater cores. That would be awesome.

i was under the impression that the ehiem was the better pump from what i have read. should i look into the mcp600? that one is alot smaller right? (which would be better for looks)

Yeah, definitely look into the MCp600. It should perform much better with the load you're going to subject to the pump.
