Hey guys!
Most of my friends and family know i'm in the process of redoing my pc. Instead of giving me money (for xmas) they keep on getting either parts or gift certs (cant complaint) I was just given the Thermaltake BigWater SE watercool kit ( http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/bigwater/index.php ) which i'm ready to install in my pc.
After reading the reviews on the kit, i've found out that its decent yet has a pretty weak pump. Unfortunately for me Thermaltake uses 1/4 fittings which limites me to only use the pump provided with the kit. This creates an issue for me as i have a Lian Li PC-70 which is a pretty big case for the pump.
Below I have the layout that i'm planning on using but because of the lack of power by the pump ( 26 GPH ) I'm not sure which will be the best position for it.

As you can see I am considering 2 choices for the pump placement.
1. Is in the mid section of the case almost next to the water block.
2. Will at the bottom/rear of the case (but i dont know if the power will really become an issue if the pump is to push the water from way down there
BTW, Sorry for the cheap looking layout (did my best with "PAINT" LOL)
I would like to get some opinions & suggestions from some of you watercooling pros out there as I'd like to get the best performance possible out of the little pump
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read my thread!
