How's this look? Is there anything else I need to add before I complete my order? The outside diameter of the tubing looks weird... 7/8? do they even make that? Looks like a typo & should be 3/4... not sure yet.

Unless you are going to be running some uber-low speed fans, you can save yourself $80+ and get a Swiftech MCR320. The Thermochill is the top performing rad out there, but the price premium is no where near worth the performance difference.

Clearflex 60 is good tubing, but it clouds up very quickly. Masterkleer is a bit stiffer but stays clear a lot longer.

I would recommend using distilled water with 5-10% of pentosin antifreeze (online or dealer VW/Audi blue or Toyota red antifreeze), a few drops of povidone iodine, and a couple of drops of fish aquarium algaecide over HydraX.

Whenever you want to drain and refill, you would have to buy more HydraX again. And you are stuck with green. I also have seen people have growth with HydraX before, so I don't trust it.
 
can i use software to control the fan speed of the rad fans? i was going to get the 1600rpm scythe fans, but thinking that i'd run them 50-70% most of the time... only running at 100% when needed. is that possible?

and i decided to just get both sets of tubing.. the shipping charge is as much as the tubing itself if i order it later lol
