Pretty good setup. Why 1/4"? Seems a bit small.

Good stuff overall. What CPU are you cooling? Is it overclocked?

p.s. Did you post this on another site? I just responded to something that is almost exactly like this somewhere else.
 
dont go with 1/4" you will regret it later on down the line. Stick with atleast 3/8" and prefferably 1/2". Most all blocks are designed around 1/2" so to use the blocks to it fullest potential you need 1/2".
 
It takes a little more time to route out and bend the tubing for 1/2", but you'll be set for whatever OC'ing you want to do. I have that same radiator, and with 2 Panaflo 87 CFM fans on there, it cools my CPU and GPU quite well.
