Ok, so I am close to building my WC'ing setup. I still need the Fans (which I just ordered), the fill-port, T-line, and some more tubing.

I just did a mock up in Photoshop to make sure that this is the way the hosing runs. Check it out. (I uploaded it just in case.)

yup yup - thats exactly how you do it


also, make sure that the wide part of the TDX is the barb w/ the water going INTO it, and the skinny part has water coming out of it
 
Oh yeah, which waydo I have the fans blowing? Towards the Rad or towards the system?

def towards the system. u certainly dont want to be moving warm air from the inside the system actross the rad. and in my experience, fans blowing toward a rad work a little better than fans sucking away from the rad. but what do i know

That's all a matter of opinion, try it both ways and go for what works best for you. I like to have my fans pulling air thru the rad but my current setup is in push config no difference in temps either way so far.

I will try it that way first, then check the temps, then check it the other way and see the temps.

Would this work (running 4 Panaflo Hydro Wave FBA12G12U)? Currently, I only will have 2 running, but I can get 2 more.
