If you have any tips or feedback, please let me know. Everything will be copper, brass and nickel, so no silver or aluminum. Thanks for checking this out!

Look up Lamptron fan controllers instead. Quick disconnects? You know how big they are? Unless you move the PC or have an external rad enclosure don't need them. Waste of money. I don't see a provision for a drain in your setup.

I am using a Lamptron controller in the post. Also, as I stated, I am using an external radiator case. Thanks for the response.
